Via-ferrata climbs, zip lines, and 3 rappels at Nido de los Aguiluchos near Monterrey, with early pickup and English guides.
“If you’re considering this hike, take the warnings seriously—this is NOT an activity for beginners. As a very fit couple in our mid-30s, we found the climb to Nido de los Aguiluchos incredibly challenging. You’ll need solid strength, endurance, mobility, and reflexes to navigate the steep inclines, loose rocks, and rappelling sections.

Small-group guided La Huasteca Canyon trek from Monterrey to Pico Independencia and Zona Extrema, with pickup and bottled water.
“A most enjoyable day!!! Exploring La Huasteca Canyon was both gratifying and fascinating. The views are breath-taking and the walk gave us a welcomed light workout.

Always aware of his group, he made sure we were safe and comfortable. He was well prepared with water, energy drinks, snacks and even masks. And took some great pictures for us. Back in the city, at Polo’s suggestion, we had lunch at an authentic Monterrey Taquería (delicious!!!) and indulged in some traditional Mexican…”
Small-group Grutas de Garcia cave tour from Monterrey with premium SUV pickup, guided hike, Garcia town stops, and cable car options.
“Its a beautiful experience! My guide was Polo which did an excellent job explaining and providing my family with information about Monterrey. Personally I wish I would have known that the experience required us to go up and down 760 steps . I felt like the tour felt very rushed I highly recommend letting customers enjoy more time in the town or outside the amusment.”

“Jonathan was adjusting the tour to our delayed arrival and managed to cover all sightseeing points of the itinerary. He was able to answer all questions and provided many insights into Mexican history, culture and delicacies. Thanks to Alejandra as well - she is a very joyful and sympathetic woman who will learn the mountain names until our next meeting.”
