It is a long (2.5 hour) drive to Llano de Las Flores, but a lovely one through the mountains which hikers consider time well spent to enjoy the terrific hike waiting there. The hike itself takes about four hours, including time for a sack lunch at a mirador overlooking surrounding hills and valleys. The two caves and waterfalls add a special touch to this outing. Participants are cautioned that there are some steep segments which require using a rope banister to get up the hill. This may be more challenging than some people are ready for.
Time frame: 8:00 leave from Llano Park / 9:00 rest stop at El Punto / 10:30 arrive Llano de las Flores / 10:45 begin hike / 1:00 sack lunch at mirador / 1:20 start return hike / 3:00 end hike / 6:00 return to Oaxaca.
