How to get there

Trailhead Access

The journey takes place by crossing part of the road to Saltillo, which can be reached both by toll road and free highway. Later, you climb up the “El Jonuco” summer house colony, which is located inside a very striking canyon with some caves and mines surrounding the colony. There are also white wind power fans right at the entrance to the colony that can be seen from a distant distance. To get to this colony you will have to go through two booths. When you pass the second booth, you turn right on the second lap and give it everything right. If there are more than two paths, always stay on the right path. Finally you will arrive at an orange house that is located at the end of the street. You walk in front of the house where you can join the sidewalk.

Parking Information

You can park near where the road starts next to the street. Not to obstruct the road or a garage.

Trail Overview

When starting the route through Oyameles, there are some seasons where the route is not as visible, given that grass grows a lot in that area. Also, when you arrive at Puerto Oyameles (where you can find a fence) there are several paths, so make sure you take the right path or better use the wikiloc to guide you. In addition to this, the route is generally very marked. Pass the names down the booth
