The route passes through natural areas where local plants and animals can be observed. Along the way, there are stops at local restaurants where authentic regional food is served. The tour includes private transportation to and from Oaxaca City, entry fees, breakfast, lunch, snacks, bottled water, a rain jacket, and hiking poles to support the walk. A backpack and cold jacket are not provided. The plan is laid out to let participants spend the day away from urban noise and enjoy the outdoors with guidance on the area's nature and culture.
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!
