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

Before starting the hike, we'll visit a family that makes wooden grinders, which are used throughout the state to prepare chocolate. You will have the opportunity to try some.

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

As we continue the route, we will share facts about this region, which is rich in natural resources, featuring thousand-year-old pine and holm oak forests.
