individual.sections.location
The start of the route is in the San Pedro 400 neighborhood. To get to this neighborhood from the center, we have to go all the way along Constitution Avenue until it merges with Diaz Ordaz Avenue. Arriving at the intersection with Av Corregidora, we turn north (towards the hill). Soon after, we turned left at Av Manuel Clouthier. A couple of blocks later, we turn right on Avenida División del Norte (Platino Street). After Vista Montaña Park there is Batallones Rojos Street, where we turn right. From here, we can start looking for parking, since the space at the beginning of the sidewalk is very small. The beginning of the village is on Pedro Reyes Zúñiga street.

There may be space for one or two cars at the beginning of the sidewalk, but the recommendation is to park in the Vista Montaña park to avoid any conflict with the neighbors, since the space on that street is very small.

There is also little sign along the road, only some stones are marked with arrows.
