How to get there

Trailhead Access

Use your favorite browser to search for Parque la Huasteca and follow the prompts. Once you enter the Huasteca park, you can park in the first available parking lot on your right where there is a large sign passing the first bridge. From there, there is a path that leads directly to the Camino de la Raya. Most of all, you have to go down to the river and use the Wikiloc to get to where the path begins. In the distance, if you look at the edge of the mountain in the direction of La Raya, you can see a white line over the mountain. (this is the climb to the line).

Parking Information

There are two parking lots, one outside the booth and another one after passing the booth. If you want to walk a little longer, you can park outside the La Huasteca park booth and walk along the river until you reach the beginning of the sidewalk.
