    One of the best hikes we’ve ever done! Jair is an incredible guide—polite, knowledgeable, and well-versed in the town’s history, Monkey Mountain, and the local wildlife and vegetation. We asked a lot of questions, and he either knew the answer or quickly found it, as there was cell service the entire way. The first half of the hike is easy, but the second half gets more challenging with steep inclines, and near the top, you’ll be stepping on and climbing boulders. But once you reach the summit, the views and photo opportunities make it all worth it. While not the easiest hike, we saw people of all ages and fitness levels making the trek. From the moment we met Jair at the Sayulita bus station, we felt comfortable—he even knew many of the people we encountered along the way. He also went above and beyond helping us organize transportation back to Puerto Vallarta. Overall, an outstanding adventure!

    Jair was a great guide. He set an easy pace, was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, and local history. It was very hot and humid so take lots of water. The view from the top was wonderful.
