The 1987 film Predator utilized the location to stage the helicopter crash and jungle encampment scenes.
The park is situated at the base of the Los Arcos mountain range, providing a distinct micro-climate from the Puerto Vallarta coastline.
The onsite natural pool is formed by volcanic rock formations carved by the Mismaloya River.
The canopy course utilizes platforms anchored to native hardwoods to minimize ground-level environmental impact.
El Eden de Mismaloya is a private ecological park situated deep within the Sierra Madre Mountains, accessible via the Mismaloya River canyon. The site served as a primary filming location for the 1987 motion picture Predator. Visitors access a series of canopy zip lines that traverse the jungle canopy above the Mismaloya riverbed. The property features a natural rock swimming pool fed by mountain streams. A restaurant on-site provides dining services within the rainforest setting. The facility operates as both an adventure park and a film-history tourist attraction. All activities are focused on the local tropical ecosystem and river canyon terrain.
