Best adventure in my life

Emily_C, Apr 2024

Adrenalina máxima

Derek_S, Apr 2024

Best part was that I survived, unbelievable views! Extremely high and narrow climbs, great rappels. Great guides.

Excellent guided hike....

Benjamin_M, Jan 2024

Excellent guided hike. Guides were very helpful in making me feel comfortable as we got ready to rappel. Definately recommend.

Worth it.

Shannon_K, Nov 2023

The views were breathtaking, and I appreciated having to work hard for them. The guides were very helpful (and serious about safety!). Those of us on my tour were pretty much in agreement that we didn’t want to know what qualifies as “good fitness” since this was rated “intermediate.” The actual distance is short, but it’s grueling; our group was out there from ~6 to ~12:30, with our longest rest breaks while we waited for our turn to rappel on the way down. The route included skree skiing, scrambling, scaling rocks while attached to a safety cable that would keep you from going straight down a cliff if you fell, etc. I’m a regular half-marathoner (not fast, but steady), and my legs are trashed. I’m not scared of heights, but the starts of the first two rappels still gave me the flutters. It’s hard work to do this tour, but it’s absolutely worth it. The views are mind boggling and the sense of satisfaction at the end is hard to describe. Do this tour, but give yourself an easy day on either side of it.

Awesome

David_H, Nov 2023

Great experience and adventures. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Definitely need more than moderate fit person 😁. Just waiting on the other photos that our kind and awesome guide took for us during the tour!

Amazing

gary_b, Jul 2023

My guide, Luiz, was amazing. The hike/rock climbing was strenuous but once you see the view!!! Breathtaking!! You forget how hard it was to get there. My first time repelling and I loved it.

Hausteca Views

Juan_G, Jun 2023

It’s a challenging hike but so rewarding to see the beautiful views of Hausteca and of Monterrey. Tony and Adán were great guides making sure first timers were informed of what steps to do and take, making sure everyone was comfortable. It was a great amazing experience. Thank you and may God Bless all the guides.

Incredible experience...

Eliazar_O, May 2023

Incredible experience highly recommend! Would bring plenty of water and light gloves too! But over all would do it again

Awesome experience

Kris_M, Nov 2022

I didn’t know what I signed up for and it’s better not to know. The hike was great and the views were extraordinary. Rappels got really scary but I am glad I did this. Not for the faint hearted though! Once you get through the first one the only way is through the other ones haha. Best booking directly with Gaia as they offer GoPro etc

Great experience, not for beginners!!

Cesar_R, Nov 2022

Although this was an incredible experience, it is not for all levels! Must have hiking boots, biking gloves, light back pack for water and a snack. This isn’t a regular hike as there are no safety precautions in place like in the USA. Half the time you’re climbing up very loose gravel and coming back down the same way; was very nerve wrecking with the downfall. This is clearly I park issue not the tour guide but I feel like the description doesn’t prepare you for what’s in store on the journey to the top or on the way down. The way up is the way down. Once up top the views are incredible!

Harder than anticipated for a first timer, but worth it.

James_G, Jun 2022

This was a bit more challenging than anticipated. The initial walk and scramble was challenging, but way fun. The rock climbing had me feeling like a kid again. Repelling for the first time was exhilarating. I never felt like I was in danger, but you do have to be careful. Luis and Denise were great guides and i will definitely do this again. If you have the chance to do this and the stamina to keep a decent pace up a steep incline, do it. Come prepared - hiking shoes, sunscreen, sun glasses, snacks, a hat to wear under the helmet and most importantly BRING WATER. Someone on our excursion didn't have any and almost passed out by the end.

Best adventure of my trip

Aric_M, Jun 2022

This was my absolute favorite adventure I booked while in Monterrey! Going solo and not speaking Spanish I was a bit nervous, but it was not a problem. I didn’t want to spoil the trip, so I didn’t look at any photos prior. It was more incredible than I have imagined it would be. I haven’t climbed in 10yrs, and this trip made me want to take up climbing again! Thank you Rodriguez and Denise for the hospitality and e adventure. This trip starts early, but it was worth it to see the sunrise come up.

Rappelling was the best part

Henry_V, Mar 2022

Like most of the hikes in Monterrey, this was a punishing one, but rappelling down with the canyon behind us really made it worth it. Cedric and Denise were great guides. Definitely a good time. Recommend bringing hiking sticks if you've got em

We had a blast but not safe

Lyne_C, Mar 2022

As an experienced hiker I would say the the hike was relatively hard, lots of scramble rocks and dangerous passages. At it was very scary, not sure if we’re happy we did it or happy to be alive. All in all I would recommend it, but keep in mind it is challenging. DONT FORGET TO BRING GLOVES! PS: Thank you Denise for looking out for us!

Careful with the agent Juvy B and false promises

Mario_K, Jun 2021

First, the agent Juvy B was inpompentent. Sold me a tour that was not happening at the booked time. They forced me on another tour which was a disaster. Never ever will I use this site again.

Best hiking tour Monterrey

Cesar_L, Mar 2021

Amazing experience, morning hike, saw the best views of Monterrey! Very professional tour guide! Great experience 👍

Unglaubliche Aussicht

Benno_Z, May 2023

Die Aussicht auf die umliegende Berge und Grossstadt war traumhaft. Schon deswegen lohnt sich die Tour. Mit dem ausgesetzten Weg und dem abseilen ist die Tour zudem sehr abwechslungsreich!
