Meet Diane and her partner Jair at Chaman Mexican Creative Kitchen for a 1.5-mile jungle hike along the coast, then practice a gentle 40 to 50-minute yoga flow beneath the palms on a quiet beach. The 2.5-hour outing suits beginners, though rocky ground, inclines, heat, and waves require reasonable fitness.

“We had an amazingly beautiful hike through the jungle and arrived at a private beach for the yoga class which was much more peaceful and clean than Sayulita's main Beach. The yoga session was relaxing, and the perfect mix of not too challenging and very centering. It was amazing doing yoga while listening to the waves crash right behind you. Diane was really mindful of our pace on the hike and easy to talk to, she was knowledgeable about the area and pointed cool things out along the hike. I am already planning a return trip to Sayulita and will definitely be booking this again.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 155 reviews · 11 hours · from $168

Leave Mexico City early for Paso de Cortés and La Joya, then hike Iztaccíhuatl with an English or Spanish-speaking alpinist. Expect a 5 to 7 kilometer route, steep volcanic ground, and views of Popocatépetl and the Valley of Mexico. The route is not a summit climb, and high altitude makes fitness and acclimatization important.

“Not a trip to the TOP of the Volcano, as the details suggest (and what I figured for the price and time allotted). But still an excellent way to hike and see the volcanoes. It would require more gear and more experience to hike to the summit. This hike is still challenging, and a good way to experience some altitude, with breath taking views! The guide was very good!”
