Directions

The hill behind the Basilica of Guadalupe offers forested hiking trails with sweeping panoramic views over the entire Valley of Mexico — a genuinely underrated outdoor experience steps from one of the world's most visited Catholic shrines. The trails wind through pine and oak forest and are used by local hikers and pilgrims alike, giving the place a layered spiritual and natural character. Views from the summit on a clear day are extraordinary. Air quality and visibility vary significantly — mornings after rain offer the best panoramas.
