Magical Night Hike with Legends and Fireflies

Experience a one-of-a-kind night in the mountains of Santiago, Nuevo León, where the magic of the forest comes alive. Our Magical Night Hike begins with a thrilling off-road ride through winding mountain trails, leading you to Aldea Matacanes, where a warm outdoor dinner under the stars awaits.

After dinner, the real adventure begins: we’ll walk along forest paths lit only by moonlight, searching for glowing fireflies dancing among the trees. Along the way, our guides will share mountain legends — tales of spirits, shape-shifters, hidden treasures, and canyon guardians passed down through generations.

A natural light show, a night of spine-tingling stories, and an experience that reconnects you with the simple, the mysterious, and the truly unforgettable.

Perfect for couples, families, and groups of friends looking to experience the mountain by night in a safe, unique, and magical way.
