About this tour
The RZR Off-Road Ride in Xilitla tour costs $1,600 to $7,000 MXN per vehicle, lasts between 2 and 5 hours and sets off from our base in Xilitla between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. The price includes the vehicle with fuel, the gear, the guide and travel insurance for everyone in the group.

Pricing is per vehicle (from $1,600 MXN), not per person.

Few ways of seeing the Huasteca are as much fun as taking the wheel of your own off-road vehicle. We offer 4 different routes: Nanacatli (2 h, our most popular, reaching the Nanacatli Village, a hamlet of giant mushroom houses known as 'the smurf village'), Miradores (3 h, panoramic mountain lookouts), Nacimiento (5 h, a crystal-clear spring deep in the jungle where we lend you a kayak and life vest) and Trinidad (5 h, climbing to the cloud forest of La Trinidad, a mountain village preserved in time).
We meet at our base in Xilitla at the time you choose, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and there we hand you a helmet and goggles and give you a driving briefing. No experience required: the vehicles are easy to control and an instructor-guide leads the route ahead of you the whole time, marking the way and clearing any obstacle. All you have to do is enjoy the ride.
Pricing is PER VEHICLE, not per person, and depends on the route and the unit you choose: from the two-seater RZR 500 ($1,600 MXN for the Nanacatli Route) up to the Family Defender for 6 adults and 2 kids, or the premium Polaris Pro S. Every unit includes fuel, safety gear and the guide. Transportation to Xilitla and meals are not included.
We recommend clothes that can get dirty and wet, closed-toe shoes and a change of clothes: you'll come out covered in mud and with a smile that's hard to wipe off.

Manejar el RZR cruzando los ríos fue lo mejor del viaje. Salimos llenos de lodo y muertos de risa. El guía nos abrió la ruta todo el tiempo y nunca sentimos inseguridad. La Aldea Nanacatli, con sus casitas de hongos, al final es un premiazo. ¡Repetiría mil veces!

Nunca había manejado un todoterreno y me daba nervios, pero el briefing y el guía me dieron toda la confianza. Terminé manejando los cruces de río como si nada. Súper divertido y muy bien organizado. Lleven ropa de cambio porque salen empapados de lodo.

Fuimos cuatro amigos y la pasamos increíble. La ruta por la selva es preciosa y los tramos de barro le ponen la adrenalina perfecta. Llegar a una cascada escondida a la que no llegas de otra forma vale totalmente la pena. Muy recomendable.
