It was one of the most... - It was one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever been on. Quite strenuous at times but well worth the effort. Luis Fernando was very knowledgeable about the terrain, plants and community. The breakfast and dinner after the walk was wonderful as was the restaurants and the sunset.

Excellent! - We had a great time on this outing. Luis was a phenomenal guide: knowledgeable about the flora and fauna as well as the indigenous culture in the region, but also a very funny and charming person. The scenery was every bit as stunning as we had imagined from the photographs, and both meals were delicious. A word to the wise: wear hiking boots. It's not the most strenuous hiking in the world, but you will need some traction and ankle support!

Stunning - If you love nature and hiking, do not miss this. Luis Fernando went above and beyond to show us all the greatest lookouts, to describe the communities living in the area and identify plants and mushrooms. Our group was thankfully keen on hiking so we went fairly far -- it was a workout in the best of ways! I was surprised by the quality of breakfast and late lunch/dinner. Luis took us to a local restaurant in the evening with a gorgeous view of the sunset and delicious food. This was the highlight of my trip and I'll definitely book with Luis when I return to Oaxaca. Don't make plans for the evening in case the day runs late. Your plans aren't worth leaving early :)

Thos is a great... - Thos is a great opportunity for local experience in Oaxaca. You will have a knowledgable guide Luis who knows the mountain and local places very well. I was the only person on this tour and even though I was not much experienced we managedcto hike for 10 km and saw some beautuful views in these mountains, eat amazing local food and enjoy the fresh air away from somewhat busy Oaxaca city.

Amazing hike with a great guide - Luis and Valentin were fantastic guides! Luis explained a lot about the different flora and fauna and was more than happy to answer any questions. He was all around a good vibe! I would highly recommend this tour for anyone a bit more adventurous and looking to get out of the city.

Beautiful, Interesting, Long Hike with Excellent Food - This was a varied and interesting hike. There was a bonus (optional) zip line in the middle, which was a major highlight. The food on either end was generous and delicious, as was the trail mix provided. However, expectations were set that we’d be back to Oaxaca City between 6 and 8, and we did not get back until 9:30 pm. The last piece of the hike was basically straight up.
