Some trips take you just outside Guadalajara, while others make you feel like you’ve traveled much farther. This one falls into the latter category.
Yun Experiences offers a getaway that combines birdwatching, hiking, mountain scenery, and a stop to sample traditional Jalisco cuisine.
The tour passes by the Presa de la Vega and the Piedras Bola, two places you must visit. Add it to your list of things to do in September.
First, you’ll need to get up early to go birdwatching
The trip starts at dawn, but the reward is well worth it. The adventure begins at 5:30 a.m., when the group leaves Guadalajara headed for the first observation point.
One of the tour’s main attractions is the mysterious rock formations—huge, almost perfectly round boulders that dot the mountain landscape, making this place look like something from another planet.
It’s an activity where you walk slowly, listen, and pay attention to what usually goes unnoticed; they provide binoculars, so don’t worry about bringing your own gear.
Then, a hike through the Piedras Bola
After the first part of the tour, it’s time for a change of scenery as you head toward Piedras Bola for a hike through mountainous terrain with environmental interpretation.
One of the tour’s main attractions is the contrast between the different landscapes: wetlands, mountains, and geological formations that make the trip feel much more like an exploration than just any old hike.
You’ll also visit an area of archaeological and geological interest before making a much-needed stop: lunch.
And yes, there’s traditional food, too
After several hours of walking and exploring, the trip ends with a full traditional meal at a local restaurant.
Because if there’s one thing we love about a getaway in Jalisco, it’s that it’s not all about the scenery: you also have to sit down and enjoy a delicious meal before heading back to Guadalajara.
The return is scheduled for around 5:00 p.m., so it’s practically a full-day experience.
What does the experience include, and how do you sign up?
The package includes:
- Round-trip transportation from Guadalajara.
- Hydration and snacks.
- Basic hiking gear.
- Binoculars for birdwatching.
- Environmental interpretation.
- A full traditional meal.
