How to get there
Trailhead Access
The beginning of this path is next to the Visitor Care Center, which is the first cabin found past the main entrance. To get there, take the road to Chipinque, which you take from Av. Valle San Ángel in San Pedro Garza García.
Parking Information
We recommend parking in the first place you see available inside the Park, as there is usually limited space. Entering through the booth, there is a parking lot in the first Customer Service cabin. As you move down the street there are parking spaces, however for this route you have to park at the beginning, since the beginning is just entering the park.
Fees & Park Hours
Admission to the Chipinque Ecological Park costs $88 Mexican pesos ($5~ USD) per person + $50 for parking: https://www.chipinque.org.mx/
Trail Overview
The trail is very well marked, although there are 2 clear areas with benches for rest where you will have to pay more attention since several routes cross each other, in these parts you will have to keep climbing and looking for the desired path (follow the GPX and/or the advice of the waypoints we marked).
Recommended Gear
No special equipment is required. It is best to wear hiking shoes to protect your ankles and avoid slipping in mud and stones. However, you can take the route with running shoes. Trekking poles can be used for additional support.
