Go to José Peón Contreras street either along Eloy Cavazos Avenue or Las Américas Avenue and park on this same street to enter the private road on foot and get to the starting point (Parque de los Jabalí). DO NOT ENTER THE PRIVATE CAR, and if you do, you will most likely be surprised when you go down that you have a violation or, as it has already happened, that the tow truck will pick up the vehicles.

You can sit on the side of the sidewalk for almost the entire length of José Peón Contreras street (please don't get in the way of any garage), it's very spacious even on the weekends there is usually room and as a last recommendation, don't leave valuables in sight.

This hill requires good physical condition, the slope is on average 20% but it is constant and there are no flat places. For 5.5 kilometers you will climb more than 1000 vertical meters and the cement of the trail makes it somewhat heavier for the leg muscles. One recommendation is to take advantage of the points of interest to rest. On the other hand, the place is perfect for those looking to increase their aerobic capacity.
