This bucket list-worthy Oaxaca hiking vacation, led by an expert local guide, is ideal for active travelers who want to combine breath-taking vistas with an exploration through traditional Mexican villages and archeological ruins.
After exploring the colonial city of Oaxaca, guests hike in the untouched Sierra Norte with the locals who have set up a remote system of trails and cabins. By taking the trek, you will be contributing to sustainable community development by offering alternatives to the logging practices that have begun to reduce the tree life in areas of the Sierra Norte.
The trip ends in a lodge on the Pacific Coast in Puerto Escondido where there are an array of optional activities to enjoy such as deep-sea fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, surfing, and sailing.
