Hike to Puerta del Cielo near Mexico City with Omar. Small group, safety-harness ladder climb, caves, river, waterfall, and extra overlooks.
“This experience was wonderful and I'm grateful to Omar for the expert guided hike experience. The meet up was easy to find (just sit by the MXCD sign), and the drive out didn't have too bad of traffic. The hike was tough, but I think I was the least experienced of the tour group and I had a bad cold at the time. The ladder was such a unique experience! The safety guidelines helped even the most nervous among us feel comfortable. I appreciated the small size of the group so we all got to know each other. The views were stunning throughout with lots of great photos and memories…”
