Hiking Trip - Thoroughly enjoyed our day hiking. Was a 7km intermediate walk (mainly with a path but also a bit of rock clambering). Views and scenery beautiful. It was colder than we expected. Enjoyed the breakfast provided, but the lunch lunch was amazing - with real locally cooked food in a quaint kitchen. Our guide explained a lot of info to us and was very accomodating.

Such a positive experience! - Diego is an exceptional guide. He introduced us to the “pueblos mancomunados” of the Sierra Norte, identified indigenous plants and their uses, is passionate about history and indigenous cultures. As an older hiking couple, we were appreciative of his kindness and support on our hike. Our only regret is that we didn’t find and contact Coyote Aventuras earlier in our stay in Oaxaca and benefit more from their excellent services.

Awesome hike with rescue dogs - We did the hiking with rescue dogs and had a wonderful time. Diego, the guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. The dogs were cute and well behaved. Awesome tour company that cares about preserving the nature and communities in Oaxaca.

Two Magical Days - My tours were super amazing, yes, I took two! The Caujimoloyas and the opportunity to trek and have fun with rescue dogs from Caravana Canina.
Both treks were incredibly memorable experiences; my guides were beyond super knowledgeable about the local area (particularly about the herbs and flora), really great people to spend a day of adventure with, and all-around fun.
The pups were a great bunch, and the day is a delight for dog lovers.
So many mushrooms and delightful picnics as an extra bonus.
Thank you so much!

The beauty of Sierra Norte - This hike is absolutely amazing as you're guided thru the trails and learn all about the various plants used to make medicine. The guides (Paola & Matilda and Don Tokyo) are fantastic and you get to hike to the top of a mountain 10K feet high with a spectacular view. The bridge is also exciting. You learn so much about the community and by far the best meals are here as the hot choco, bread, chicken, beans and rice are out of this world given the foods natural tastes. It's a beautiful eco tour and community. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guided hike was an... - Our guided hike was an amazing experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Oaxaca. Santi and Pao were excellent guides and the natural beauty of the Sierra Norte is remarkable. Pao is incredibly knowledgable about the flora and fauna of the region and showed us all of the edible plants we encountered during our hike.
While the hike and Coyote staff were amazing, what stood out most was their relationship with community members in Cuajimoloyas that made the trip special. Our hosts for breakfast and lunch were community members that provided us delicious food and were gracious enough to share with us their knowledge of the land and traditions of Cuajimoloyas. Dona Marta, our lunch host, spent an extra hour with us talking with us about the medicinal uses of plants in the region that has sustained the people in Caujimoloyas for generations. Our local guide for the hike, Israel, similarly shared his knowledge about the Sierra Norte and we all walked away with a much greater appreciation for just how special a place and its people are.
I recommend Coyote and this particular hike to anyone and am incredibly grateful for the experience.

Excellent - My group and I did multiple adventures and had a great time. The Coyote team was super helpful and we really enjoyed the time we spent in Oaxaca, Mexico. We really enjoyed the hiking in Cerro del Jaguar and the adventures to the archeological sites.

Incredible tour of the Sierra Norte - We couldn't have been more happy with the Coyote Adventuras. The amazing Shai and her dog Mesa along with Choche our driver took us up to the Sierra Norte Mountains and were very adaptable to our needs. There were four of us and we asked if we could do a more intense/longer hike, and Shai easily adapted the plan to allow for this. The area we hiked in were unbelievably beautiful and rural. We hiked from one village to another on the first day, and then to old gold processing ruins on the second day and went swimming in the river!
