What To Expect
Your adventure begins at the Sayulita bus station, where you’ll take a local bus for a scenic 25 minute ride to the charming village of Higuera Blanca, the gateway to Monkey Mountain (Cerro del Mono).
After a brief orientation, we’ll begin an 8 km (5 mile) round-trip hike to the summit.
Along the way, I’ll point out the local flora and fauna while sharing valuable insights into the history and traditions of this region.
Near the top, a short rock scramble will lead us to the summit, the perfect place to relax and take in breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, framed by panoramic vistas of the Riviera Nayarit.
We’ll descend along the same trail until we return to Higuera Blanca, where you’ll enjoy a refreshing coconut at one of the village’s most traditional spots. Finally, we’ll take a private car or taxi back to Sayulita, wrapping up a truly unforgettable experience.
