Day 1: Arrive in Monterrey and enjoy a dinner of the best tacos and other cuisine in Mexico at El Papalotes.

Day 2: We’ll have an early start to drive to Parque Chipinque to climb La M. This route has awesome vertical climbs with via ferratas, and ends with majestic views of Monterrey. After showers and a little downtime back at the hotel, we’ll head out for an amazing traditional northern Mexican dinner and drinks, featuring all kinds of delicious meats.

Day 3: We’ll have another early start to go to Parque Huasteca and climb Horcones. This route features steep, hands-on-knees climbs, leading to class 3 scrambling up to a gorgeous ridgeline. Bring your camera! Back to Monterrey for another awesome dinner and relaxing.

Day 4: We’ll drive about 30 minutes to the town of Santa Catarina to take on Pico Perico. This route starts behind a local subdivision and quickly disappears up the mountain. We’ll pass through abandoned quartz mines and climb steep via ferrata routes. The payoff in views at the top is totally worth it. From the summit, we’ll see the two previous day’s summits in the distance. We’ll cruise back down for the drive to Ciudad Victoria, where we’ll stay for the night.

Day 5: After a good night’s rest, we’ll drive just outside of town to run the trails on Señor Horacio’s land. We’ll bring food for a lunch prepared by Horacio over an open fire at his personal home. This is a cultural experience you’ll talk about forever. Then we’ll head back to Miquihuana to relax at the beautiful boutique Sol y Luna Resort, where we’ll stay for the next two nights.

Day 6: We’ll head out from the resort at sunrise to run through town as it wakes for the day. The trail will take us up the mountains just outside of town, past ranches, century-old water systems, and wildflowers, finishing in the beautiful La Joya valley.

Day 7: With abrazos (hugs) from our new friends, we’ll load up in the morning for the drive back to Monterrey to catch flights and see everyone off. For those riding back in the van, settle in for the ride to San Antonio and Austin.

After signing up, we’ll send more information and hold Zoom calls where you can ask questions, meet the team, and get additional details. In the meantime, feel free to contact us at Fun@TejasTrails.com if you have any questions.

We will be staying in comfortable hotels in Monterrey and Ciudad Victoria. In Miquihuana we will stay at the beautiful and eclectic SPA Sol y Luna resort. Rooms are double occupancy unless you request single occupancy for the additional cost.

We’ll provide snacks and light lunches while traveling and on the trails. There will also be opportunities to buy local food and eat out.

Breakfast, dinner, and snacks are included in the trip cost. In Monterrey, we’ll enjoy delicious, hearty meals at some of the best restaurants in town.

In Miquihuana, you’ll have a family-style experience with meals lovingly prepared right in the kitchen.

If you have specific food you'd like to carry on runs, be sure to bring it with you.

Let us know if you have any dietary restrictions, and we’ll make sure to accommodate them with meals that work for you.

Flights:

If you’re flying into and out of Monterrey, Mexico, there are direct flights available from over ten U.S. cities. You’ll fly into Monterrey on Day 1 in the morning or early afternoon, and depart on Day 7 in the afternoon or early evening. If you prefer to spend the night in Monterrey at the start or end of the trip, we can help book convenient airport hotels.

Van Transportation:

We’ll be driving the vans we’ll use for the week from the U.S. to Mexico. We can arrange pickups in Austin and San Antonio early on the morning of Day 1. It’s about an eight-hour drive from Austin to Monterrey. On the last day, we’ll be traveling from Miquihuana, which is about a 12-hour drive to Austin.

General:

Client and crew safety is the most important priority for any Top Out Adventures trip. We will take every precaution possible to mitigate risks and be prepared in the case of an emergency situation on the adventure.

Trail Safety:

• A trained first responder will be on the crew

• All clients will be given a route briefing the day before and a printed map with contact numbers

• Crew members will be carrying GPS spot trackers with SOS buttons

• Crew members will be carrying 2-way radios

• Homebase crew will be tracking progress of the crew GPS trackers

Travel Safety:

Anytime you travel in another country it is important to know the lay of the land. Mexico is a wonderful country with good infrastructure. We will be traveling by private van during our trip. Security is similar to traveling in any international country and cities. It is important to be aware of your surroundings and leave valuables at home. The areas in which we travel are not typical areas of high crime, and we stay in close communication with local authorities to be aware of any current situations that require itinerary modifications.

Mexico is a wonderfully open and kind culture. Our goal is to avoid any rare, dangerous exceptions.

Payments:

You have two payment options:

1. Pay in full at registration and receive a 10% discount on the trip costs.

2. Alternatively, you can pay in 4 installments of 25% each. The first payment is due at registration, and the remaining three are due 90, 60, and 30 days before the trip.

If you register within one of these payment windows, you'll need to make a payment that brings you up to date with the schedule. Don’t worry—we’ll handle all the complicated math for you!

After clicking the "Sign Me Up!" button, you’ll be directed to a form to collect your info. We’ll send you invoices based on the payment plan you select.

Cancellations:

We go outdoors for the experience of nature which comes with some unpredictability. With the exception of dangerous conditions, our trips run rain or shine. For international trips outside the United States, you will receive a 100% refund for cancellation of any payments up to 45 days before the trip. Within 45 days you can choose between a 50% refund of payments received or a 100% credit towards another trip.
