Amazing views! - It’s a great moderately difficult hike with gorgeous views. The last part is quite steep and requires a bit of scrambling over rocks. Definitely worth the effort to get to the view from the top. Jair was quite knowledgeable about the history of the area and conservation efforts.

Amazing Monkey Mountain Journey - An amazing hike with an excellent guide. As an elderly gent I would rate the hike as moderately difficult given the elevation change. More difficult if you hike in the afternoon heat. Good hiking shoes a must. Spectacular views.

A nice hike that overlooks Sayulita - Jair was an accommodating and knowledgeable tour guide. The hike through jungle and mountain has a lot of interesting and unique flora. Seeing the sensitive plant in it’s natural habitat is one of the highlights for me.

Beautiful place with a gorgeous view! - The hike was great. It's important to wear sunscreen and a hat. Our guide was very kind to us and was close to us throughout the tour, helping us and showing us nature. I highly recommend this experience!

Still sore! - Monkey Mountain was a beautiful hike with incredible views at the top—but wow, it was way more strenuous than we expected! We’d read reviews saying it was moderate, but it definitely pushed us more than anticipated. We *thought* we were in decent shape… turns out, not quite! Still, it was a great workout and totally worth it—just be prepared for a real climb and bring plenty of water.
