Hike + Hot Chocolate – Half-Day Adventure Tour

Duration:7 hours total

9km / 5 miles: of guided hiking
 Elevation gain: 420 Meters

This Experience takes you out of the city to the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca. This place is one hour and twenty minutes from the city. The ride to the Sierra is very interesting because you are going to experience the temperature change from the warm weather of the city to  the  cold weather of the Sierra. On the road The vegetation of the mountain is transforming from bushes which are not  very tall nor provide shade to very tall trees that provide a lot of Shade.

The Hike starts  in a place  with lots of vegetation and We´ll start the march going up the trail seeing mushrooms, different types of plants like ferns and Tillandsias. The forest is full of species that are unique from Oaxaca that  probably  You´ll have never seen.

The hike is not that challenging and We´ll  going to keep a moderate pace that would let you enjoy nature. During the Hike  I’ll share with you more about the culture of Zapotecs, how people live in the mountain  villages  and how they see and preserve the forest and how they interact with nature and make use of what they have. At the top you´ll learn about the History of the Chocolate and have the chance to enjoy a cup of Hot chocolate made from scratch  accompanied with bread while you  appreciate the view from the top of the Mountain and the immensity of the forest. After having some time to relax We’ll start going down. This part may be the most technical and  You can even practice Trekking if you  desire  not an extreme trail but its continuously Down Hill.  After that We’ll be ready to go back to Oaxaca
