Journey into the Mountains

Leave Oaxaca City behind and travel into the Sierra Norte mountains to Cuajimoloyas, an indigenous community nestled at 3,200 m (10,500 ft) above sea level.

Start with a Local Breakfast

​

Begin your day in Cuajimoloyas with a traditional breakfast of freshly made memelas and coffee at a small local family-run eatery.

Hike Through the Cloud Forest

Set off on a scenic loop hike through lush cloud forest of pine and oak—no backtracking, just constantly changing landscapes. Explore trails surrounded by ferns, giant agaves, and seasonal (rainy season) wild mushrooms. Along the way, your guide will share insights into the local plants, birdlife, and community, turning the hike into a deeper, more meaningful experience.

​

Rock Formations & Mountain Views

​

Explore dramatic rock formations, pass through a crevasse, walk alongside towering rock walls, and enjoy some fun, easy scrambling along the trail. Scenic viewpoints along the way reveal sweeping views across the Sierra Norte mountains.

​

Discover Cuajimoloyas

After the hike, walk through Cuajimoloyas village and, if you're up for one last adventure, cross the 100-meter suspension bridge (optional) for a different perspective over the surrounding forest and mountains.

Finish with a Homemade Lunch

​

Enjoy a well-earned homemade lunch prepared by a local family. It’s a chance to relax, taste traditional Oaxacan food and experience a part of everyday life in this Sierra Norte community.
