Chino's
Paradise and
Eden's
Paradise or
El Eden are
both just a
few miles
south of Old
Town
Vallarta.
It is best
to take a
tour bus or
taxi here,
although
some prefer
the hike up
the long
road.
The
paradises
offer bouts
of cascading
waterfalls
running into
a series of
sand-bottomed
natural
pools.
The cascades
are often
used as
slides by
locals, and
the pools
are shared
by swimmers
and shy
schools of
fish, all
surrounded
by a lush
jungle
setting.
The area is
also the
jungle where
the movie
"The
Predator"
was filmed
with Arnold
Schwarzenegger,
and at El
Eden, the
restaurant's
servers wear
camouflage
gear and
combat boots
as a part of
the
restaurant's
resembling
theme.
Hours change
according to
the season,
but
typically
are 11 am to
5 pm.
