The Experience

Before You Go

Bring photo ID

You’ll need ID for pickup and equipment waivers—keep a waterproof copy in your daypack.

Hydrate and snack

Pack at least 1–2 liters of water and the provided non-alcoholic snacks to keep energy steady between activities.

Wear protective footwear

Sturdy closed-toe shoes and long socks reduce the chance of blisters and improve control on ATVs and in paintball fields.

Listen to briefings

Safety briefings and helmet checks are mandatory—follow guides’ instructions to avoid accidents.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Scenic pullouts on forest roads with views over valley floors
  • Local weekend food stalls near park entrances serving regional antojitos

  • Squirrel (various highland species)

Conservation Note

Stick to marked trails and follow guide instructions—highland forests in this region are sensitive to erosion and off-trail vehicle damage, so operators often limit routes and rehearse low-impact practices.

The highland forests west of Mexico City sit along the Trans‑Mexican Volcanic Belt; these slopes have long provided timber, grazing and weekend recreation to city residents.
