Luis is a fantastic guide and a kind human being. The hike that my group did may be different than yours because he will build the route depending on the skills of the people going on it. We went for about 7 miles and the first half of the hike was a mish mash of portions of other trails combined with Luis’ own off grid sections. We learned about plants, talked about the wildlife and enjoyed the many different types of forest in sierra norte. Bring your own food to snack on at the top. Fantastic way to spend a day in Oaxaca.

Luis is awesome, highly recommend if you’re here in Oaxaca

Book this! It’s incredible! And when Luis Fernando asks whether you want to do the longer hike for more views, say “yes,” it’s worth it.
The trails were gorgeous and diverse. We had a truly magical day. In addition to the hikes, views, atmospheric changes that had us surrounded by clouds, we had 2 meals in the Magical Villages - including a bonus quesadilla with mushrooms LF foraged for us during our hike!
Luis Fernando is a sweetheart! An environmentalist with great taste in music. I was not prepared to hike this trip - I last minute booked to escape the City - and he kindly lent me a back pack and water bottle 😊

Luis was very knowledgeable and passionate, the location was incredible - a very different experience than what you see in Oaxaca valley.
beware - it is a very challenging hike, that includes a steep and long incline. so make sure you are in shape and prepared.
