  • Great day hike in Zapotec village

    The whole day was a great adventure from start to finish, everything was run so smoothly. lvan was very knowledgeable and loved that he works with the local Zapoteco village to give us an even richer experience. Hike was a bit difficult but I had been sick, most hikers with elevation experience should be fine.

    I had used and liked this company for another experience, so I was confident in booking this one. This hike was moderate— the right amount of challenging, but plenty of time for rest and to enjoy the beautiful area/views/flora and fauna! Ivan was a great guide— he was punctual, patient and kind. He knows a ton about the area and was happy to share that information. I enjoyed how this tour included an additional local guide from the community and meals from a local kitchen. The food was filling and yummy, the extra support and knowledge from the guide was wonderful, and it was nice that this tour helps to support the community in these ways. Gracias for another great tour!

  • Wonderful day in the mountains!

    Ivan was a great host and tour guide, safe driver and all around great guy. I appreciate his knowledge and willingness to share the local flora and fauna, mushrooms and culture of the villages. The food was amazing and felt homey in the space, with a view as well. You can tell Ivan respects the land and the local people, including them in his tours and supporting the community. Hike was wonderful and just right, lots of different things to see while not being to strenuous of a trek. Cheers!

  • Great city escape!

    Really enjoyed the latest adventure with Ivan (third total this trip). Great opportunity to get out of the city and explore the mountains of Oaxaca. The day was a little rainy and overcast but the hike still ran smooth and was extremely beautiful. lvan is a great host, helps in every way possible to be sure all is well (had spare ponchos). Super special food stops, a good three hour hike (not too fast or slow -not too muddy) and lots of great stops for views, plant identification, bird calls, and simple bouldering. Great to see mountain village life, and efforts for sustainable tourism. Book this trip if you need less concrete and more green in your trip.

    Great day trip from Oaxaca! The hike was really unique, intermediate level, and really beautiful landscape. Ivan had great knowledge about the plants, mushrooms, animals, and birds. The food was amazing and was really nice to see a small village in the mountains.

    We had an amazing day with Ivan and felt very well taken care of. When we arrived up in the clouds at the start of the hike we were worried we would be trudging through the rain for 4 hours but every aspect of the day was great - delicious locally cooked food for breakfast and lunch and a very slow paced hike with some challenging parts but at no point did we feel out of our depth. The local guide who joined us was so knowledgeable about the plant life and she was so kind and calming. If you like hiking do this one.

    This is a fantastic tour. The guide lvan has extraordinary knowledge and the flora and fauna, the local community and general history of the area. He enlists help from the local community to make breakfast and lunch and also join you on the hike which makes this a really authentic experience - I highly recommend this.
