The 5 Best Private Hiking Tours in Mexico

1.Private Hiking at the Fox Canyon from Cabo San Lucas

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 68 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $220Our pick

Leave Cabo’s resorts behind for a private, medium-difficulty hike at Rancho Ecologico Sol de Mayo. Your guide, possibly Sol, Hugo, or Charly, leads you through Baja’s dry country to a waterfall and swimming spot, then serves a Mexican lunch in Miraflores before the Tropic of Cancer stop.

“Guide:Sol G. Rodriguez is super. So good we convinced him and vendor High Tide Cabo to guide us to Cabo Pulmo the following day. Super experience.”

2.3 Hour Private Hike: Mountain Nevado Toluca from Mexico City

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

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.”
