Flowering field in the clouds at La Cumbre hike in Santa Catarina Ixtepeji

Ruta De las Nubes

Journey deep into the mountains of the Sierra Norte, where cloud forests, hidden trails, and Indigenous Zapotec communities are woven together through ancient traditions and communal life. Hiking from village to village, this route offers an immersion into one of Oaxaca’s most mystical landscapes — a place of forests, mountains, healing plants, and deep connection with nature.
