Itinerary description
Beautiful shaded valley walk with potential for more exploration, caves and even hike to El Cubo.
From Santa Rosa de Lima on the Guanajuato-Dolores Hidalgo Highway (110), head up through the town past the cell phone towers. Continue following the stone-paved road down a kilometer or so until the road turns to gravel. Shortly after that, there is a chain gate. There should be an attendant there that will charge 70 pesos to pass through.. It is possible to park here and walk as road is a little rough.
When you arrive at the presa (lake) continue along the road until the dam and park here. There is little elevation gain/loss on this hike. The Wikilocs cross section seems to be in error.

It is possible to drive a little further down the road but a good vehicle is required.

Trail Fork near beginning of trail
With main trail apparently closed for a Paintball organization, it may be necessary to follow a path leading left from the main road near the beginning of the trail

Lunch spot and turn around
It is possible to follow trails further from here and explore other valleys and likely all the way to El Cubo, southeast of Guanajuato.

Cliffs near lunch spot
I have been told there are caves in this area...I am thinking they are up this valley.
