About the Hike:  The trail mostly follows a mountain stream and so runs mainly downhill the first half of the hike and then along the river. This is considered one of the most beautiful trails in the Pueblos Mancomunados. However, as it is deep in a valley it does not offer the kinds of panoramic vistas available on some other trails (i.e. Cuajimoloyas to Benito Juárez or Benito Juárez to La Neveria). Mushroom hunters will find good pickings during the rainy season.
