    A moderate yet fairly long loop hike with many attractions: Great views, varied terrain, good trail, a wonderful ex-Hacienda full of roses, a wide variety of other flora, mushrooms. two creeks and more.

    Buenísima ruta. La hice corriendo y le añadí unos kilómetros extra, en total 17k. Gracias!!
