Hiking Monkey Mountain takes about one hour to reach the summit and another hour to return to the base.

With roughly 80% shade along the way, this hike is one of the favorites in the area.

The adventure begins 5 kilometers from Punta de Mita Village, passing through the small village of Higuera Blanca on the way to Sayulita.

Starting on a riverbed just two blocks from the main plaza, the route follows a jeep road at first, then transitions to a single track leading to the top.

Hiking Monkey Mountain

Whether starting from Sayulita or Punta de Mita, this hike is a top choice.

• It takes approximately 2 hours.

Enjoy a stunning 360-degree view at the summit!

This activity is perfect for families and also serves as a workout. Monkey Mountain is a challenging hike, but it always leaves you smiling by the end, even if not at the start, haha.

Summer can be more difficult due to humidity, so it’s best to begin as early as possible or at sunset.
• There are two routes to climb this mountain: via Higuera Blanca (Punta de Mita) or via Patzcuaro (Sayulita). The latter is the more challenging option. The first option, Higuera Blanca, is much easier.
• It can be done in the morning or at sunset.
• If the weather is favorable, we proceed.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
