Top Mexico City Hiking Tours

Trekking Through The Volcanoes

Let's conquer the mountains of a beautiful pine and oak forest. The largest and least crowded lung of CDMX with views that will take your breath away. We will begin the ascent next to the 'La Magdalena' river, known for being the only living river in the city. The objective is to reach the 'Puerta del cielo' viewpoint located at 3550m high (11600ft). Along the way, you'll see a small waterfall, huge rocks, and diverse, lush vegetation. We will visit another viewpoint, we will explore a cave, and we will also climb a 30-meter-high via ferrata (with safety equipment) that will get your adrenaline pumping 100%. Once we arrive at the 'Heaven's Gate' you will have time to rest, take photos and eat to recharge your energy. Finally, we will return to the starting point, where transportation will take us back to the city. *APPROXIMATE DISTANCE = 6-7km (4miles) *REQUIRED LEVEL = Intermediate. *RAINY SEASON: Safe to do the activity and it's also mushroom season!

What are people saying about Mexico City

Shankar_N, Jul 2026

A landscape of wonders in the volcanic mountains

There isn’t enough I can say on this review of how good Alan was. He looked after us from the very beginning of the tour before we even got on the shuttle. During the hike, he stopped and took breaks as often as needed for us, he gave us great knowledge on the landscape and the volcanoes were astounding! Once we had our lunch, we went to a local area where he fed a stray dog, and gave us the recommendations of food. Once we got back, he got in contact with our driver and stayed with us until our hotel picked us up, when he didn’t have to! He is a true figure of what a tour guide should be.

I recommend this...

I recommend this experience for anyone willing to try a night out in the town surrounded by a rowdy bunch. It gets loud and it gets crazy. Some match may drag on and you can tell that its neatly choreographed but you can also see the talent and determination of the fighters to give the crowd the best possible show. If youre lucky, you get to see a drunk man run into the middle of the ring and see him be dragged away 🤣 or see the very last fight be held by the masters of the sports. Best part is to feel the passion of the crowd and it gives many people a great chance to do something new and exciting on a weekend.

If you want to experience more about the Basilica... this is not for you it only allowed us 1 hour not enough time to engage as spiritual journey... need to ask before or take an onky basilica itinerary tour... my trip had spiritual purpose and ended up spending more time in tequila tasting

Anthropology Museum Private Experience Walking Tour

Tony_D, Jul 2026

Incredible experience

Such an amazing experience! It was a private tour for us, and our guide Oscar was super knowledgeable about the museum, the history and the stories. It’s a huge museum and can be overwhelming for visitors (esp if you don’t speak Spanish). Having a guide makes it much easier and fun. We didn’t get to cover everything in 3 hours, but we learnt a ton! Thank you Oscar.

Basilica of Our lady of Guadalupe!

The Basilica is a very large complex. We were so grateful to our guide Martin. He was very knowledgeable about the history, culture and religious heritage and genuine in effort to make sure we enjoyed our time there. We very much enjoyed our tour and he even helped translate our needs for shopping in the store and helped capture our experience with photos! It was fantastic!!

Anthropology Museum Guided Tour

So Much Information

We had an excellent guide for our museum tour. Her name was Alexa, and she presented the information so clearly and with so much depth. We will not be able to remember all of it, but we gained a deep appreciation for the civilizations and culture from the México City region long before it was Mexico City! I highly recommend a tour because there is much to learn, but very few of the printed placards are in English. Alexa was quite fluent, but more importantly, quite well-informed on her subject-matter. She is an expert and were very grateful that she shared all her knowledge with us for 2.5 hours. But, be ready for a lot of standing!!

Private Tour: Teotihuacan and Guadalupe Shrine

Joshua_B, May 2026

Five Stars - A professional, bespoke, and incredibly insightful experience.

This was exactly what my group was looking for - A private tour that was catered to our specific needs; We had a specific time in mind to return home, and our incredible guide, Marta, was able to make it happen. The experience was completely seamless. A reminder email received the day before our reservation, asking that we confirm the tour the following day. On the morning of our tour, we opened our front gate at precisely our pick-up time to find Marta and our private van awaiting us on the street; It couldn't have been easier. Marta was helpful and kind, and her knowledge of the sites and the history of Mexico City in general was astounding. In our group of eleven, some had visited Teotihuacan and the Basilica before, while others had not, and at the end of our visit one of our group who had toured previously commented that Marta's commentary and expertise was far superior to what he had experienced on his prior visit. This tour is top-notch, and shouldn't be missed if you need a bespoke experience and/or truly care about the facts and information surrounding the destinations.

A truly special tour

Our tour with George was a wonderful experience. Our small group went to the pyramids the first day it opened after the tragic shooting in April. George was respective of the circumstances, knowledgeable about the area and history, and provided us with a safe, interesting day. We had an enjoyable time doing a bit of shopping and brunch on a street nearby, a fun van ride to and from our hotel, and a perfect day. Highly recommend!

Megan_W, Mar 2026

Worth it!

If you're debating about making this trek, stop hesitating. My 10-year-old daughter and I had an amazing visit. We will never forget the magic of all those butterflies! The ride was long, the hike was dusty, but really not all that strenuous for us. The scenery was beautiful, even without the thousands of fluttering wings. Our guides were kind, knowledgeable, and flexible, and we felt well-cared for. I highly recommend- no regrets for spending a day of our CDMX trip visiting the sanctuary.

Action Packed Half Day Hike with Omar

The Adventure starts early at 8am at a convenient spot near Roma Norte where you meet your super-guide Omar. From there our group of 4 loaded into Omars vehicle and headed to the mountains which are about 40min. away. Even though you are technically in CDMX, it is a whole different world. Upon arrival Omar provided us with backpacks containing a helmet, safety harness and water and explained in detail how to properly use the safety equipment. The trail is quite steep and rocky with an area which requires you to climb a long steel ladder up a cliff. Omar is watching your every step to make sure there is no danger to your safety. The climb reveals several breath taking view points at which we stopped to eat lunch (bring your own food and snacks) from there we descended down a different trail where we ran into cows randomly grazing in the forest and a beautiful river with stunning waterfalls. The hike is a few hours long depending on the groups pace and is a great workout and exciting experience for those who are feeling adventurous but don’t have time to climb an entire volcano. I highly recommend this tour!!!

We both had an exceptional day of hiking this trail with Luis from Que Loco! Tours. Luis is extremely competent, and had his eyes on all in our small group to measure our comfort and safety. He was also a very nice man, enjoyable to talk to, and we had good conversations about the park, the region, our cultures, etc. I would highly recommend this tour and hike!

Teotihuacan Early Access Guided Tour with optional Lunch

Christine_T, Oct 2025

Better with an early start

Highly recommend this with the early start. Its well worth it when you see the bus loads of people arriving as you leave. If anything, even earlier is better because it can get really hot. The guide was okay. Note that afterwards you are taken to tequila & mescal tasting and where you can buy souvenir, the vendors are nice and not too pushy. So glad i went.
