Walk inside the veins of a volcano. This tour takes you deep into the "Cañada de Nexpayantla," a unique geological gorge carved by the meltwater of the active Popocatépetl volcano. Unlike open trails, here you are immersed in a canyon of rock, forest, and water. Why choose this tour? • Unique Geology: You will visit a natural "Sulphur Spring" (Nacimiento de Azufre), where the water comes out golden/orange due to minerals—a direct connection to the volcano's energy. • The Hike: We trek approximately 10 km (6 miles) with a moderate elevation gain (+300m). The path winds through a dense forest before opening up to the canyon walls. • The Destination: A serene, discreet waterfall tucked away in the gorge, perfect for meditation and photos.

Shane_R, May 2026

Alicia is a legend - 10/10

I booked a guided tour of the Anthropology museum on the advice of some local friends given how vast the exhibitions are and I’m so glad I did. Alicia was my guide and she made the experience so fun and interesting that I’d love to go back and do the same tour again with her. Thanks Alicia, see you soon!

My husband and a close...

My husband and a close friend and I had a private tour. Ligia picked us up at our Airbnb promptly at 8 am. She speaks Spanish, English, and French very well and switched between English and Spanish with ease as our friend is a native Spanish speaker. She was very knowledgeable about all of the sites as well as entertaining. Ligia led the tours of each site at a leisurely pace and was very attentive to our needs. She is a very safe and confident driver. Her vehicle was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend Ligia for any tour she chooses to lead.

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!

Saurabh_G, Apr 2026

Amazing Experience!! Value for money!!

It’s an integral part of Mexican culture and you can experience it by the way the crowd responds to the competitors!! The noise! The arena! The moves!! It’s exhilarating!! The closer are you the arena better the experience is gonna be! But that does not mean you can’t enjoy from afar! The whole atmosphere is great!! There are vendors selling stuff at the seats so those who need to munch and drink can have that for a charge!! We were a group with people from India, Australia, Switzerland and Colombia… Our guide Alan’s enthusiasm was a bonus as it percolated to everyone and we all had a great time!! He also got us past the rush quickly to our seats and explained history as well! All in all 2.5 hours very well spent!

Excellent private tour.

Ana was wonderful and accommodating. There were certain things I wanted to focus on, and she was more than happy to accommodate us. Being old, we also needed to take a few breaks, which she was also happy to accommodate (some guides want to make it to the end, no matter what). We didn't see everything, but we saw what we wanted to see with Ana. Thanks g for a great tour!

We had a great trip! Only about 2 hours out of the city, went on about a 4 hour hike and then back. Hike was relatively easy but the altitude made it more difficult for me. Ate a snack at the top and then came down and had a big lunch at a small local spot. They had everything included and everything we needed. Overall we had a great trip and the views were beautiful

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!!!

I booked this tour for my mom’s 60th birthday, as it has always been her wish to visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I am so grateful to Gabriel, our tour guide, for giving us such a wonderful experience that we will always treasure as a family. The tour was not only insightful but also truly impactful. We now have so many beautiful photos to look back on, thanks to Gabriel for being a great photographer too! I really appreciated that he never rushed us and allowed us to explore each area at our own pace. At the end of the tour, he even recommended a quick go-to snack, Pastes Kiko’s (so good!!). Thank you again, Gabriel—10/10 highly recommend booking this tour!

Horseback, Culture & Mexican Flavors Experience

Brandi_H, Jun 2025

Beautiful horses and scenery

We loved getting to meet and spend time with Yunuen and his 2 kiddos. Super sweet family. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate. It rained the entire day. We still rode the horses but didn’t get the full experience due to slippery conditions. We were thankful that Yunuen cut the ride short for our safety. Lunch and drinks after were delicious! We had a yummy Mexican soup that warmed us up followed by a delicious Mexican bbq. I would recommend this tour 10/10. I hope to do it again when it’s not raining. Yunuen told us that we can reach out for a free reschedule the next time we’re in town which we thought was a very nice offer!
