Sierra Norte Hike

After picking you up from your hotel in Oaxaca at the scheduled time, we'll board a vehicle and head east to the Sierra Norte for a hiking route. We'll explore the largest area of cloud forest in Mexico.

Before starting the hike, we'll visit a family that makes wooden grinders. They will explain their manual grinders, used throughout the state to prepare chocolate. You may try some as well.

Next, we'll start a 3 km (5 mile) walk to the peak in Santa Catarina Ixtepeji ecotourism park. Along the way, we'll pass important towns in the Sierra Norte, such as Benito Juárez, La Nevería, Cuajimoloyas, and Latuvi.

During the hike, we will share information about this region, known for its rich natural resources and thousand-year-old pine and holm oak forests.

After approximately 9 hours of activity, we'll return to your hotel in Oaxaca.
