What makes this experience special is the perfect combination of adventure, nature, and local culture. It's not just a hike; it's a day designed to disconnect from the hustle and bustle, breathe fresh air, and explore spectacular trails in the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca.

Plus, everything is designed for your worry-free enjoyment: routes tailored to your level, stops at local restaurants serving authentic food, and my knowledge of the region's flora, fauna, and culture.

If you're looking for an authentic experience, away from the crowds and in touch with nature, this is the ideal plan for you.

What to expect

If you're looking for fresh air and a day of adventure, this experience is for you. Everything is planned so you can simply enjoy it.

We'll drive 1.5 hours to Cuajimoloyas, one of the 8 Pueblos Mancomunados (Communal Villages). First, we'll have breakfast at my favorite restaurant (trust me, come hungry). Then, we'll drive 15 minutes to Benito Juárez, where our hike begins.

Depending on your level and the pace of the group, I'll choose the best route:
✔️ Short: 2-5 km | ✔️ Intermediate: 5-12 km | ✔️ Long: 12-25 km

We'll hike through a pine-oak forest at 2,800-3,100 meters above sea level, exploring microclimates, and, if you're interested, I'll tell you about the local flora, fauna, and fungi.

What to bring?

☔ Rainy (June-Oct): Boots and a rain jacket. (I'll bring extra gear if you need it.)
☀️ Dry (November-May): Long-sleeved shirt, hat, and sunscreen.

After the hike, we'll eat at another of my favorite spots. You'll want to stay longer, but we'll have to head back to the city.

If you're looking for nature, fresh air, and good food, this is your plan!
