Circuito Cañón del Carbón - Bosque la Primavera

Departing from downtown Guadalajara, take the road to Vallarta. When you arrive at the town of Venta del Astillero, take the first return. Turn right on Allende Street and walk it to where it ends, and then take Los Pinos Avenue. 200 m after turning, there is a high-tension tower and at that intersection we can leave our cars.

There are two areas: The first is around the high-tension tower, but you can only park a couple of cars without hindering free traffic. The other option is a vacant lot right at the start of the route, but it was recently fenced off. It has a removable wire fence; if you choose this option, it is very important to close it when entering and leaving, as well as to be respectful of the area and the wiring.

As of July 2025, this route does not involve access costs.

Moderate. The first half of the route is inside the canyon and the route is very intuitive. Sometimes, the path will be very narrow because the walls come together almost 1.5 m apart. As we advance, the canyon will open and eventually we can leave the canyon and climb to the top to start returning. In the upper part, there are some route variants, but all you have to do is pay attention to Wikiloc to stay on track.
