Full-day hike from Cuajimoloyas to Benito Juárez – Sierra Norte
Description
The hike from Cuajimoloyas to Benito Juárez is the highest, most scenic and most strenuous trek in our catalogue. It is also one of our favorites. We categorize it as “difficult”, and it follows along the footpaths through the woods with great views of the countryside. Either is a worthy choice for a wonderful day in a magnificent setting. Visitors are asked to dress in earth tones (green, brown and blue) and to avoid other colors, particularly bright ones.
Some safety and hike detail reminders:

Hiking poles are useful, but optional
Bring a light rain coat
Hiking boots are preferred
Bring some coins with you to pay for bathroom access and cash to pay for your lunch at the restaurant.
