2.3 Hour Private Hike: Mountain Nevado Toluca from Mexico City

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 59 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $117

Leave Mexico City at 7 a.m. for a private drive to Nevado de Toluca National Park. With guides such as Rubén, Martín, Guillermo, or Andrew, you hike near the crater and lagoons at elevations above 4,000 meters. Snow and park access can change the route, so prepare for cold, thin air, and a long day.

“I think the description is misleading because: first, the hiking is really to walk around the lagoon instead of going to the summit. Second, being a tour, you don’t get information about the altitude, weather conditions, history or any other things. The car is a small city car without air conditioner. For the price, I think is poor. If you want to be just taken to the place and that somebody walks with you, go ahead.”

7.PRIVATE Fun Hiking Tour with Awesome Views

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $85Best value

Join a private two-hour hike near Cabo San Lucas with an English-speaking guide such as Leo. Expect steep, technical sections, a 3.5-mile loop, broad views, bottled water, a granola bar, first-aid support, and photos taken with your phone or camera.

“Early morning start is ideal - more folks appear on the trail later in the morning. You will want to be in decent shape, because parts of the trail are steep and technical. Great views on the ascent and at the very top. We completed a 3.5 mile loop within 2 hours. Leo is a great guide. Lots of excellent experience and knowledge concerning Cabo, available tours, history, culture, and terrain. He was well-prepared to lead a hike with water, snacks, and a first aid kit. He also made sure we had several photos of our hike. Had some great suggestions for the rest of our visit, as well. Thank…”
