The Experience

Escape Oaxaca City and head into the spectacular highlands of the Sierra Norte for a half-day hiking adventure through the lush cloud forest of La Cumbre Ixtepeji. Hike along scenic mountain trails surrounded by towering pines and oaks, giant agaves, colorful wildflowers and seasonal mushrooms. Reach breathtaking viewpoints above 3,000 meters, with sweeping panoramic views across the surrounding mountains and valleys, before descending through the forest. Finish the adventure with a well-earned traditional Oaxacan lunch at a local mountainside eatery before returning to the city in the early afternoon.
