Day 1 — Hiking from Los Dinamos to Tláloc

• Hiking adventure with nature views

The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the cool air—way fresher than what you get in the city center. We met up early, just outside a little café where locals were grabbing atole and tamales for breakfast. Our guide, Carlos, handed out helmets and harnesses right away. He’s lived in the area all his life and knows every shortcut through these woods.

The trail starts off pretty gentle, but don’t let that fool you. Pretty soon, we were climbing at a good angle—my calves definitely felt it. The path winds past streams that sound louder than you’d expect, especially after rain. At one point, we ducked into a tunnel carved into the rock; it smelled like wet earth and moss inside. There’s a staircase about 30 meters high—looks intimidating but with the gear provided, it felt safe enough even for folks who aren’t pros.

We stopped for fruit and cookies halfway up (honestly, those cookies hit different when you’re hungry). The view from the top is wild—trees everywhere, and if you’re lucky with clear weather, you can see all the way down the ravine. Carlos pointed out some old markings near the summit—apparently this spot was sacred to people here long before Mexico City even existed.
