Description

Join this regenerative tourism experience in Mexico City where you leave the destination better than you found it. Before sunrise, you'll plant a tree in what is becoming the first urban forest built entirely by travelers — a living project transforming the reputation of Iztapalapa, one of the city's most misunderstood areas, while restoring the ecosystem of the Sierra de Santa Catarina Protected Natural Area. Starting at the Cablebús San Miguel Teotongo station at 4:30 AM, a short transfer brings you to the base of Tetlalmanche volcano. A guided hike through volcanic terrain leads you to the crater's rim just in time for sunrise, where you'll join a guided meditation as light spreads across seven surrounding volcanoes and the fifth-largest urban area in the world stretches out below. Circle the crater, then settle in for a picnic breakfast at its edge — coffee, tea, fresh bread and fruit with a view unlike any other in Mexico. Continue through the ancient sand mines and end your journey aboard the Cablebús, holder of a Guinness World Record as one of the longest cable car systems on the planet.
