How to get there
Trailhead Access
Heading from Monterrey or Saltillo to the road to Matehuala, we will take the exit for San Antonio de las Alazanas, after La Carbonera. Once we head to San Antonio de las Alazanas, we continue straight until we find the Bosques de Monterreal area. At the first curve you see that turns left, this is the entrance to La Moneda, which is where the route begins. There is plenty of space to leave vehicles, camping area (camping), corn, horse rental, and more.
Parking Information
As already mentioned, there is ample space to leave vehicles, next to the road. Preferably do not carry short cars, as they may scrape.
Fees & Park Hours
$50 per person to enter private property and take the tour. There is no charge for parking.
Trail Overview
Perfectly traced, up to the Mirador mentioned above. From now on, the route becomes a bit wasted since it has hardly been traveled, but you can find some slats and cauldrons that we and other groups have placed to provide a better sense of orientation in this last stretch.
Recommended Gear
Hiking poles, emergency blanket, headlamp, extra battery, emergency whistle, emergency radios

Level 5 according to our scale. There are almost 1,000 m of positive slope (900 m.), along a horizontal distance of almost 10 km (9.62 one way only, 18 km in total). More than ¾ parts have a very friendly dirt terrain and a very friendly pronunciation in the inclination; however, after Mirador Rocío Aguilar, it is where it becomes a little more demanding inclination, but nothing out of the ordinary (13 degrees of average inclination from the Mirador to the Summit, although it may weigh a little due to the altitude above 3,400 meters above sea level).
