About the event

About the Hike:  Most of our hikes in the Sierra Norte mountains north of Oaxaca take place in the Pueblos Mancomunados. The territory belonging to San Miguel del Valle borders on the Pueblos Mancomunados, and features the same kind of lush forest and high country scenery. There are some awesome views from the mirador at elevations near 10,000 feet looking out over the Tlacolula valley. We will trek along a loop trail covering about 2 miles. Hikers should be prepared for cooler temperatures and the possibility of fog and drizzle in the cloud forest.
