Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in State of Mexico

I suggest buying the Flash Pass if you hate waiting in lines. It saved me a ton of time and made the day much more enjoyable!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and water. The food inside can be overpriced and not that great. Saving a few bucks is always a win.

Just a heads up, if you’re planning on betting, familiarize yourself with the betting process ahead of time. I spent a good 20 minutes just figuring it all out!

I think it’s best to sit in the higher seats for the best view of the races. Some lower seats can have a blocked view due to the fencing, so check the layout before you buy.

I suggest using public transport like the metro. Parking can be a mess, and the metro is super easy and nearby. Plus, you'll save yourself some time driving in traffic.

Bring cash! Some spots don’t accept cards, and you might miss out on snacks or entry fees if you don’t have enough on hand

I suggest getting there by 8 AM to enjoy the trails before it gets crowded and the sun becomes too harsh. Early morning is stunning!

Pack a picnic! It's such a beautiful area, and having lunch surrounded by nature is a fantastic experience.

check the weather beforehand. i got caught in a sudden downpour, and it dampened the fun. a quick look will save you from getting soaked!

My advice is to arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled ride. It helps you relax and absorb the experience!

I think taking a camera is a must, but don’t go overboard with equipment. A phone with a good camera works like a charm. I missed some great shots because I was lugging around a big camera!

I recommend booking your ride online in advance to snag a discount – I saved a good chunk of cash doing that!

Make sure to ask your pilot questions during the flight! They have some amazing stories and tips about the area. I wish I had done that more.

wear sturdy shoes! i wore regular sneakers and regretted it halfway through the hike. the trails can get rocky and slippery!

Check the weather before you go. It can change fast up there. I went when it was sunny but got caught in a sudden rainstorm—totally soaked!

Bring snacks and plenty of water. I thought I could buy something up there, but it's pretty bare of shops, so pack your own goodies.

I suggest downloading offline maps beforehand. Cell service can be hit or miss, and having a map saved helped me find the best trails easily.

I totally recommend booking your flight during sunrise. The view is beyond magical, and it makes for great photos! Plus, the weather is more stable at that time. Just set that alarm early!

Bring a light jacket! I didn't realize how chilly it would be up there, especially before sunrise. I ended up shivering instead of enjoying the breathtaking view!
