EL POTRERO CHICO

January 7–15, 2027

9-Day Guided Climbing Adventure

Itinerary

Day 1 — January 7 | Arrival & Transfer
We will meet at the Monterrey, Nuevo León airport and transfer to our accommodation in Hidalgo by private transport. Our driver will stop at a local grocery store along the way so we can stock up for the week.

Days 2–8 — January 8–14 | Climbing & Adventure
Let’s get climbing! These seven days will be shaped around your goals, the weather, and the climbing conditions. We will work together to choose the best objectives each day and make the most of our time in El Potrero Chico.

Depending on your goals, this could include single- and multi-pitch climbing, movement coaching, lead climbing, climbing technique and tactics, pushing your grade, or taking on some of the area's classic long routes.

We will keep the itinerary flexible so we can respond to conditions, manage fatigue, and make the most of the opportunities each day brings.

Day 9 — January 15 | Departure
After packing up and checking out, we will transfer back to the Monterrey airport for your journey home.

You will almost certainly leave with an even longer tick list for your next trip to El Potrero Chico!

Meeting Time & Place

We will coordinate to meet at the Monterrey, Nuevo León airport on January 7 for our private transfer to Hidalgo.

If your arrival time does not match your guide's arrival time, we can organize a separate private shuttle for you at an additional cost.


Reach out directly to Tim Taylor for details as soon as possible.
