What To Expect
Let's conquer the mountains of a beautiful pine and oak forest. The largest and least crowded lung of CDMX with views that will take your breath away.
We will begin the ascent next to the 'La Magdalena' river, known for being the only living river in the city. The objective is to reach the 'Puerta del cielo' viewpoint located at 3550m high (11600ft).
Along the way, you'll see a small waterfall, huge rocks, and diverse, lush vegetation. We will visit another viewpoint, we will explore a cave, and we will also climb a 30-meter-high via ferrata (with safety equipment) that will get your adrenaline pumping 100%.
Once we arrive at the 'Heaven's Gate' you will have time to rest, take photos and eat to recharge your energy.
Finally, we will return to the starting point, where transportation will take us back to the city.
