Valle de Bravo is the perfect escape from the bustling capital - a place to breathe fresh air and unleash your adventurous spirit. Keep reading for inspirational ideas to discover valley tourism while having fun.
1. Paragliding Experience
Interestingly, both Valle de Bravo and neighbouring Temascaltepec are chosen year after year to host aerial sports competitions like paragliding. We therefore highly recommend a tandem flight with expert pilots to admire the town's natural beauty from above.
Take off from Monte Alto and soar over the Miguel Alemán Dam, surrounded by lush forests, gliding across the Magical Town with its red-tiled roofs and cobbled streets. Important: Flights are always conducted with qualified instructors. Duration varies between 15-30 minutes depending on wind conditions. Maximum participant weight: 100kg.
Don't forget to book photo/video services - this is a moment worth preserving!
2. Water Ski Boat Hire
Until recently, Lake Avándaro (better known as Valle de Bravo Reservoir) faced severe water level drops due to ageing pipelines and private lagoon construction. The good news? A recovery plan has successfully increased water levels, allowing aquatic activities to resume.
We recommend hiring a boat for water skiing with family. These vessels typically accommodate 1-6 people with hourly rentals. For an adrenaline rush: skim across the reservoir at high speed while holding the tow rope!
3. Horseback Riding Tour
Nothing more romantic than a peaceful horseback ride for two. Explore Valle de Bravo's forests on guided 1-3 hour trails to discover the stunning Velo de Novia Waterfall. Marvel at the 35-metre cascade, fresh pine scents and unforgettable landscapes. Other routes include Tilostoc Waterfalls, pine forests or town outskirts.
We guarantee this natural setting will make you forget all worries. No prior experience is needed for these Valle de Bravo horse rides, though participants must be aged 5+.
4. Hang Gliding Flight
As mentioned, Valle de Bravo is ideal for air sports due to both landscapes and weather conditions. Naturally, we've included hang gliding. Glide above the Magical Town in this fixed-wing aircraft, with flight options lasting 20, 30 or even 40 minutes (always with expert pilots).
5. Guided Walking Tour
Finally, the classic option that never goes out of style: a walking tour. Local guides will lead you through both the Historic Centre and natural forest areas featuring waterfalls like Velo de Novia and the impressive 34-metre Peace Stupa (a meditation retreat site).
Tours also include walks around Miguel Alemán Dam, passing the Municipal Pier and scenic viewpoints.
Any of these 5 options guarantee fantastic fun and discoveries in Valle de Bravo!
