Tour Options
During the booking process, you can choose between two different hiking routes. Both include pickup and drop-off at your hotel, transportation to the trailhead, a guide, and safety equipment.
Below, you'll find a brief description of each route:
Cerro del Chupón Hiking Route (4 Hours)
After picking you up at your accommodation, we'll drive about 10 minutes to the start of the trail. There, we'll gear up and go over the safety guidelines before beginning this exciting sunset hike.
Cerro del Chupón rises like a natural lookout in the heart of an urban setting, offering a unique blend of nature and cityscape. The trail begins with a gentle incline, but as we climb, it becomes steeper—and the breathtaking view of Monterrey illuminated below will make every step worth it.
As we hike, we'll pass through a dry, wooded landscape that perfectly frames the contrast of city lights against the natural surroundings at dusk. At the summit, you'll be treated to a stunning 360-degree panoramic view that captures the harmony between the urban and the wild, a sight that's sure to leave you speechless.
At the end of the adventure, we'll return to the starting point and take you back to your hotel.
Schedule: Thursday to Sunday at 5 pm.
Cerro de la Silla Hiking Route (7 Hours)
After picking you up at your hotel, we'll travel about 30 minutes to the starting point of our route at Cerro de la Silla. Once there, we’ll gear up and go through a brief safety briefing before beginning this refreshing water hiking adventure.
Our journey takes us upstream through the lush landscapes of Cerro de la Silla, one of Monterrey’s most iconic natural landmarks. Did you know its distinctive shape resembles a saddle? Its majestic silhouette is sure to impress!
We'll continue along the trail until we reach a small canyon filled with crystal-clear water, a hidden oasis tucked away in the mountains. From there, we'll begin the final ascent to the famous “window” of Cerro Agujereado, an awe-inspiring natural rock formation that offers sweeping views of the surrounding valleys and peaks.
The last stretch of the hike is steep and challenging, but the reward is well worth it: a stunning mountain vista from inside the cave, perfect for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.
At the end of the adventure, we'll return to the starting point and take you back to your hotel
