How to get there

Trailhead Access

The tour begins at the ranch known as “Daniel García Najera” located in the municipality of Arteaga, Coahuila, approximately an hour and a half's drive from the city of Monterrey. You can travel along the road to Saltillo and then the Carbonera road where you must pay a road fee of $200 pesos between the two more or less, although there is the option of navigating the free road, which is also very safe for free. Once you arrive at the property where you leave the vehicles, there is parking at a cost of $100 per vehicle.

Parking Information

Parking is inside the “Sal Si Puedes” ranch and costs $100 pesos per vehicle. It is a busy, safe area adjacent to the main road.

Fees & Park Hours

Only the cost of parking and if you take the toll road, it would be 44 extra pesos on the Carbonera highway and 130 on the Monterrey highway to Saltillo.

Trail Overview

The visibility and layout of the route reach optimal conditions, offering a fairly detailed overview of where the sidewalk runs, however, on sections of the route there are alternative roads, often created by some animals or local people, so it is advisable to always be aware of the Wikiloc.
