“Lyli and her team are absolutely amazing! We had an incredible time learning how to rappel in beautiful La Huasteca Park. They provided convenient transportation to and from La Huasteca. Another great perk was all of the fantastic pictures and videos captured for us by the team throughout the course of the day! We were beginners and felt completely safe the entire time following Lyli and her team’s guidance. I highly recommend checking out the rappelling class if you are looking for a fun, adventurous outdoors activity lead by kind and experienced professionals! We would 100% book another excursion with Lyli the next time we are in Monterrey!”
