What you’ll do on the Ajusco Sunrise Hike with Drone photos-highest sunrise in CDMX

This Ajusco sunrise hike takes you from Mexico City to the Ajusco forest, about 1 hour from the city center, to climb in the dark and watch the sun rise above the valley. It is a small-group guided hike for travelers aged 11 and over, with helmet, headlamp, snacks and a drone photo and video session included.

What you'll do

Get picked up at your address in Mexico City, or meet us at the Six Flags México driveway on Carr. Picacho-Ajusco.
Drive about 1 hour to Ajusco in an air-conditioned vehicle.
Put on your helmet and headlamp and start hiking through the forest.
Climb the steep first stretch, about 1.5 hours, before the trail opens up.
Watch the sunrise over Mexico City; on clear mornings you can also see the Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl volcanoes.
Pose for a camera photo session and a drone video of your group.
Stop for breakfast at a local restaurant, then ride back to the city.

The hike suits travelers with at least a moderate level of fitness who want to see Mexico City from above without a multi-day trek. Plan on about 6 hours of hiking. The minimum age is 11 and each booking needs at least 2 travelers. It is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or for pregnant travelers. Guides speak English and Spanish.

Read this before you book

Send us your accommodation first. Not every address can be reached by our vehicles. Send your hotel or Airbnb to one of our advisors on WhatsApp and they will confirm whether we pick you up at the door or agree a meeting point nearby.

Your pickup time is not the tour start time. They are very different. We collect you well before activities begin, because the drive and the other pickups on the route take time. Your advisor gives you your exact pickup time when your booking is confirmed — go by that time, not by the departure hour shown on this page.
