Thank you Paola! - Had a magical day in the forest with Paola hiking with 3 amazing dogs. The forest is truly enchanted and wonderful. Paola was amazing and taught us so much about the eco systems, plants, and history. Thank you Paola for the best day!

the most incredible hiking adventure! - This tour was amazing. Our guide Diego shared so many stories and histories about these beautiful mountains. We loved climbing the the viewpoint and enjoying the full panorama. Breakfast was delicious--fresh local honey, cheese, breads...For lunch we had a stunning view at a lovely restaurant where we enjoyed fresh mamelas and soups. The hike took us through mossy, shaded forests full of wildflowers. Would highly recommend this company for your tour!

Would do again and again, one of the best tours and tour guides - It was an absolutely amazing hike and tour through the enchanting mountains! We had Diogo as a guide; he was the best tour guide my friend and I ever had. He was very informative about the history of Oaxaca and knew so much about various plants and vegetation along the trail. The trail was easy for those that hike a lot and probably the perfect challenge for beginners! The breakfast and lunch were at local eateries and were some of the best meals we had on the trip. Would recommend to anyone and everyone looking for a local adventure!

Glorious Day in Ixtepeji - The wild flowers were exceptional, the forest truely enchanting! So nice to be in the mountains and breath the rich fruity air of the sierra! Our guide Diego was amazing, thoughtful, considerate and full of interesting local information and stories. He paced us according to our abilities, after all, the higher elevation definately reduces your aerobic capacity. We enjoyed our breaks and the spectacular scenery from the mountains.

Magical Forest Experience - My husband and I went on a hike with coyote adventures and had such a great experience. Our guides Armando and Diego were so knowledgeable and passionate. We learned about the plants, food, the land, oaxancan culture and more! The hike itself was beautiful - about seven miles of easy to moderate terrain. I would love to return to Oaxaca and do another tour with our guides who felt more like friends in the end.

Enchanted Forest - I booked the Enchanted Forest hike in Ixtepeji with Coyote. It was great! Our guide Shia was excellent. She educated us on the flora and fauna as we walked. We learnt a lot about how Coyote is working to protect the environment and the livelihood of the people. It is very important to me to use guides who are truly dedicated to leaving no footprint. Coyote walks the talk.
It's not a difficult hike, but you do climb to around 9000 ft. Shia was great at letting us find our pace and take breaks when we needed them. The view was so worth it. I would have loved to do more with Coyote, they have so many great adventures on offer. Next time for sure. Thanks Coyote!!

Great experience hiking in the forest (be sure to know your skill level though!). - Did a hike in the Ixtepeji forest with them. Overall a great experience for me. Beautiful scenery, guide was friendly and explained a lot about plants on the way.
I would caution about the difficulty on the way down though - while I had no problem, my girlfriend who was sick and couldn't come, would have definitely struggled with the steep descent and one other person did actually get hurt while the guide was chatting away and not paying enough attention to the group. Also, I think they should take better care to bring a first aid kit and enough water.
