Your adventure begins inside La Huasteca Park, followed by a steady uphill hike along a rocky ridge. Although the trail is relatively short, it includes steep sections and loose rock, making it a fun and rewarding challenge. Your certified guide will set the pace, provide safety guidance, and assist you through exposed areas.
