Itinerary

The Mexico City Hike adventure begins with an exhilarating journey to the summit of Pico del Águila, located at an impressive 3930 meters above sea level. As we hop on this hike, we’ll wind our way through dense pine and oak forests, where the path is lined with a rich diversity of flora and fauna. The crisp mountain air, combined with the serenity of the forest, creates the perfect atmosphere to reconnect with nature. Along the way, your expert guide will point out various plant species, birds, and wildlife native to the region, making this hike educational.

As we approach the summit of Pico del Águila, the anticipation builds for the rewarding, beautiful view that awaits us. From the peak, you’ll be treated to a stunning 360-degree vista of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and the sprawling Valley of Mexico below. This beautiful sight will make every step of the hike worthwhile. Whether you’re standing at the summit or simply pausing to take in the views along the way, the magnificence of the landscape will leave you in awe. It’s the perfect moment for capturing photos that will forever remind you of this incredible experience.

From this vantage point, we’ll have even more opportunities to capture beautiful photographs, with the rolling landscapes of the Valley of Mexico stretching out before us.

After our hike, if you’re in the mood to continue exploring local culture, you can enjoy an authentic Mexican lunch at a locally owned restaurant near the park. Here, you can savor traditional dishes that reflect the region’s rich culinary heritage while enjoying your guide’s insights into the history, culture, and natural wonders of Ajusco National Park.

Finally, after a refreshing break and an exhilarating day of hiking through Ajusco National Park, we’ll head back to the park entrance. With the peaceful sounds of nature still echoing in your mind, relax as we make our way back to your accommodation.
