What to expect

Your adventure begins at the Sayulita bus station, where you’ll hop on a local bus for a scenic 25 minute ride to the charming village of Higuera Blanca the gateway to Monkey Mountain.

After a brief orientation, we’ll set off on an 8 km/ 5 mi round-trip hike to the summit. The trail winds through lush tropical jungle, surrounding you with the sights and sounds of nature. As we climb, the moderate ascent gradually opens up to stunning vistas. Near the top, a short rock scramble will lead us to the summit the perfect spot to relax and take in the breathtaking sunset over the Pacific Ocean, framed by panoramic views of the coastline and jungle.

Throughout the hike, if you’re curious, I’ll share insights into the local flora and fauna, as well as history, traditions, and little known cultural facts about this unique area.

We’ll descend along the same trail, this time guided by headlamps that I’ll provide to ensure a safe and comfortable return. Back in Higuera Blanca, we’ll take a private car or taxi back to Sayulita, wrapping up an unforgettable experience.
