About the Hike:
San Agustín Etla is a pleasant little village perched on the side of the hill on the eastern edge of the Etla Valley. It has a great view out over the valley, and is blessed with an abundant supply of clear, fresh water flowing year-around from the mountains above. We will hike along the aqueduct going 3.0 miles uphill, gradually rising into one of the valleys nearby to the ruins of a hydroelectric plant built near the turn of the last century. The walk along the aqueduct is quite scenic. While the hike has a very moderate gradient of just 1%, it is 6.0 miles round trip and there is no option to step off the trail and hail a cab if you tire. However, the footpath is narrow in places and nonexistent in others, necessitating walking (balancing) on the narrow walls of the water flume itself. Still, this is one of our favorite outings. At the end of the hike, the Cultural Center in the old textile mill is well worth a visit, and it is free. The paper factory nearby is also an interesting place to visit.
You will want to pack a sack lunch to enjoy when we reach the ruins of the hydroelectric plant, which is our turnaround point.
Additional Costs: There is a 50 pesos admission fee, which includes the service of a local guide.(not included in ticket fee)
