Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Stay at Agarthi Lodge
Morning private transfer from Tuxtla Gutiérrez to Agarthi Lodge in Cintalapa. Spend your day unwinding in nature, enjoying the serene forest surroundings. Indulge in authentic local cuisine, relax in a comfortable cabin, and enjoy a hot shower to gear up for the rugged trek ahead.
Day 2: Canyon Hike and Rappel to the Arc of Time
Early transfer to the Lázaro Cárdenas community for a safety briefing. Receive your adventure gear and begin a scenic 3-to-4-hour hike through the El Ocote rainforest, supported by porters. At 2:00 PM, reach the canyon's edge and gear up for an adrenaline-pumping 65-meter rappel down the limestone wall. Camp on "Playa del Tiempo" right beneath the colossal arch, sharing stories by a bonfire under the stars.
Day 3: Technical Ascent and Return to Tuxtla
Start early with fresh coffee and discover the river siphons crashing through "The Great Landslide." At 10:00 AM, the team extracts the gear, and you initiate a technical ascent using ropes, harnesses, and ascenders under expert supervision. At 12:30 PM, embark on the final 3-hour trek back through El Ocote. Savor a traditional final meal prepared by a local family at 6:00 PM before your private transfer back to Tuxtla Gutiérrez.
