Bike path on linear park from Satelite (circuito Juristas), crossing under the highway (periferico), all the way to Gustavo Baz (about 2 km). It also connects to a bikepath along Paseo de Echegaray that goes back almost to parque Naucalli. There are many people running/walking on the bike path.

Going up towards the CCO or Jiquipilco you will find this accumulation of water of dark blue color and greenish tones that can be seen among the trees of the wooded road full of green mountains, cold wind and the sounds of nature, of course cars pass by on the road but it is the least of it if you look at how beautiful the place is. Enjoy the trip!

The Valley of the Pigeons where there are no pigeons, only Cows! Obliged to reach the Otomí Ceremonial Center (CCO) or Jiquipilco. Be prepared for the wind either head or cross. There are almost always puddles of water and it is usually cold. Surrounded by green mountains, an area to eat and rest to continue with the descent or the return. Enjoy your way.

After a strenuous effort going up to this place, you will find a beautiful and wide valley with cows and horses grazing on both sides of the road. During the weekend, and depending on the time you arrive here, you will see people doing different activities, from enjoying a picnic, tasting delicious quesadillas, groups of cyclists recovering energy and sometimes (unfortunately) fans to cars and motorcycles breaking the peace with their noisy engines. When they are not there, all is peace and the air is quite fresh and pure. One thing that surprises me every time I come to this place is to approach the ponds that are on both sides of the road and hear millions of frogs croaking in chorus. Sound simply grabs you and invites you to enjoy it.

Places to enjoy the local gastronomic delights you will find many along the way. However, in my opinion, this post is the best I've had on this tour. My recommendation: some huitlacoche quesadillas with a natural pulque. You will surely regain strength to continue on your way.
