Very flat and wide open. I suppose that’s why it’s rated easy
The trailhead is under an overpass. There were several carloads of sketchy-looking guys drinking beer out of paper bags and blasting their stereos under the bridge when we got there. (The cops came and rousted them as we were walking away up the canyon.) The trail itself is a wide, washed-out, muddy Jeep trail, covered in tire tracks and ruts. Honestly, it looked like it would have been pretty fun for off-roading, but it really wasn’t a good spot for hiking. So far, maybe two stars... But then there’s the trash: the whole trail is littered with beer cans, food wrappers, and broken bottles. My daughter and I kept waiting for it to get better with every turn, but we turned back after less than a mile.
Great trail! A little hard to find the vista but that’s ok.
I agree with Todd, a few more kilometres up there is a nice waterfall. About 3 kms past the zip line.
Recommend extending this hike to go another 3km upstream. We found a waterfall and very interesting geological features.
This is a long but beautiful trail. At about the mile 2.2, I walked on the left side narrow trail that goes near the arroyo with fantastic vistas, then I took again the dirty road and return by the other side. Most of the trail you walk trough the forest full of plants and pine trees. At the top, the site and the views are wonderful!. I had an unforgettable experience.
Very nice trail from El Llano . Three waterfalls along the river. Sometimes the path is not too easy to find. Just follow the river going up and and when you will reach the main waterfalls then the path is clear with nice maintained steps. Water is very nice and there is a small cliff from which you can jump a good 5m. Enjoy !
We did not hike on the dirt road that the people use and it was not a good idea, the views were fantastic but the trail was not well maintained and in some sections was difficult to walk. We did not reach the top of the mountain, the rain did not allowed us to continue, and we returned this time by the dirt road which is the best route. We had a good time, this is a wonderful place, and we plan to come again to reach the top.
I decided to visit the Sótano del Barro and see the guacamayas (macaws) leaving the cave. To do this, I had to leave at 2am from Jalpan de Serra to get to the trailhead on time to start walking and be ready at the sinkhole before the sunrise. Hiking in the dark and on a sloping trail was an exciting experience for me, I had to use a headlamp to see the path but it was easy with the help of the guide. Once at the top, and contemplating the sinkhole, the beautiful landscape and the flight of the macaws, I felt it was worth the effort.
