Today’s excursion is a simple walk with nature in some beautiful country. You will enjoy plenty of fresh air and sunshine on this outing. The unpaved country road is steep in places and may be damaged by erosion from summer rains. Sturdy footwear is recommended and hiking poles may be a help. We will be out in the sun most of the time, so sunscreeen, hats and scarves are suggested.
Time frame: 8:00 departure from Oaxaca / 9:15 arrive trailhead – begin three hour out & back hike / 12:15 sack lunch at lakeside picnic grounds / 12:45 board van / 2:00 return to Oaxaca.
The map below shows a mountain bike ride which is considerably longer than our hike will be. Picture the hike starting at the lake and use the distance calculator in the elevation chart to show the location of the turnaround point at the 3.5 mile mark.
