Itinerary description
6 cerros, un día lindo de trek. Tuvimos que dejar el auto a 1.6 km de donde normalmente se puede arrancar el sendero por que el portón de entrada estaba con llave. Hay puestero que vive ahí y cuando nos vieron nos dejaron pasar sin problema. El sendero está bien marcado hasta las primeras 4 cumbres cuales fueron relativamente fáciles. Para llegar a Cerro de la Cruz hay una subida medio inclinada con piedras grandes donde hay que escalar pero nada del otro mundo. A la bajada nos desviamos un poco por una zona de rosa mosqueta y demoramos más de lo que pensábamos y regresamos después de que bajo el sol así que recomiendo tener lamparita por las dudas.

6 summits, a good full day hike. We had to park 1.6 km from where you would normally start the hike since the gate at the entrance was locked but once we made it to the caretakers house they were ok with letting us hike there. The trail is pretty well marked up to the 4th summit but from there you’re a bit on your own. To get to Cerro de la Cruz there is a point that is quite steep and you’ll find yourself rock climbing but nothing too risky. On the way back we got lost in a field of sweet brier so it took us a bit longer than we expected and ended up hiking after sundown so I do recommend you have a headlamp since it’s a long hike.
