Description

When visiting Mexico, there is a place you cannot miss: the Monkey Mountain. Join us, on this unforgettable hike from Puerto Vallarta, in the Riviera Nayarit.

The Monkey Mountain is located north of Puerto Vallarta, very close to the Sayulita beach, on the gorgeous coast of the Banderas Bay. This natural paradise is the biggest hill, at the south of Punta Mita. And from its summit, we’ll get a hypnotizing 360º view of the coastline and beaches of the Riviera Nayarit.

Our adventure begins with a short ascent of about one hour across the wild trails of the Monkey Mountain. Even though the hike is uphill, it will be through a semi-shaded area, so it will be quite pleasant. Also, it is the perfect way to admire all the local flora and fauna. Here we’ll encounter many exotic birds, different type of butterflies and lizards, along with tropical trees. So your guide will explain you all about the ecosystem here and any questions you may have about the area.

Then, once we get to the summit of the Monkey Mountain, we will get a very well deserved rest, and enjoy a snack and beverages to regain our energies. What’s more, we’ll enjoy the most breathtaking sceneries. Plus, it is the most ideal spot for the perfect pictures.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
