The best MTB trails in Xalatlaco

The famous Marlboro Valley! A grassy expanse surrounded by forest. Perfect for a lazy afternoon in the countryside and enjoying the scenery.

A classic spot for hiking or biking. Its community name is El Aguaje. A place for camping, riding, running, and enjoying the forest and fresh air. Remember to stock up on supplies before arriving here, whether you're heading to the slopes of Totolapan Park or Sepultura, Cerro Coyote. Bring what you need. Don't be fooled by the weather, but it's not a risky area and is close to several trails that take you out. There's a "forbidden" route to Ajusco; if you'd like to explore it, write to me.

A cycling classic 🚴‍♂️ Spectacular views, a safe location, and wonderful views. It's sometimes possible to enter the watchtower and see it from the top. There's enough room for a lot of people and benches. Here you decide where to get off, whether you'll go to Dinamos or the trails that descend toward the Alpino del Ajusco Lodge, or perhaps to the area's viewpoints like Zacacapa. Getting up here is a great achievement, but only the beginning of the adventure.

Cabro is an MTB trail that begins in Leona and can be reached from Cardos, Jabalí, or Semillero, routes that begin on the slopes of Loma del Coyote. Many mistake it as a continuation of Cardos, but in reality, Totolapan and its visitors name the different sections of the many trails that converge downhill.

A place that has been welcoming visitors for years, wanting to hike through the forests, ride bikes, camp, eat delicious quesadillas, and spend some quality time in the Mexico City forests. There are plenty of trails to test your skills, and the entrance fee includes accident insurance, as long as you wear all your personal protective equipment.

If you want another wonderful view of the forest, this is the place where a breath of fresh air will replenish your oxygen as you continue on your planned route. Trash is sometimes left behind, but it's usually clean and safe. It's on the road to El Perillar, which connects to Los Dinamos, or on the way back to San Nicolás Totolapan.

A short break, if you wish, or just passing through to continue your route, is the central point between these routes: 1. To the Malboro Valley, passing through El Aguajillo, and heading toward Mirador Loma del Coyote. A good challenge, climbing through Sepulturas or Cardos (climb to the right), or to do an MTB descent through Cardos or Jabalí. Or, even more challenging, descend through Loma del Cenizo (regularly closed by the CDMX Drinking Water Authority). 2. To Los Dinamos, passing through Mirador Zacacapa and El Perillar. 3. To Mirador La Virgen and Totolapan (where almost everyone starts the route).

Mandatory stop in Ajusco
