hiking pueblos mancomunados independently
Bus is cheaper (at 10 pesos) but taxi is faster, and more frequent.This topic has been closed to new posts due to inactivity. I took these GPS coordinates with the iPhone app Mapmyhike. Anybody in the area who’s planning the same & would like to join? Hiking the Pueblos Mancomunados in Oaxaca was even more special than we could have imagined. Also we heard rumors that there are buses that go directly to Cuajimoloya from the 2nd Class bus station. Glad you enjoyed your tour! Enjoy!Sorry I’m not sure.
They’re about ten to twenty kilometers away from each other so it’s easy to hike from town to town with just a daypack.
Situated on a ridge between two valleys; the view was panoramic fantastic. (Also, try Mapsme app) But really, all you (I have heard there is an office in Oaxaca where you can get topo maps– don’t know exactly where it is or how good the maps are. Activities.
Thanks for putting it together. Is the route clear enough? The forest land of the Pueblos Mancomunados extends up from 2,000 – 3,000 meters (6,500 – 10,000 feet) in the Sierra Norte. But you’ve been reading Lonely Planet and combing through websites, everything says you need to hire guides, cabanas and transportation.
Several Oaxaca tours offer trips to the Pueblos Mancomunados, but it is not difficult to visit independently.
If you are a weekend tourist looking to spend $$ and have everything planned out ahead of time, this guide is NOT for you; this guide is for seasoned backpackers with a sense of adventure, looking to save some money and don’t want to be suckers for the tour package sellers.
Although Lachatao is formally separated from the Pueblos Mancomunados network, their community maintains an incredible offering of hiking and biking trails. © 2019 Kindred Soul Studios LLC | All Rights Reserved. The challenge is being out in this wilderness for so long – if you’re trekking independently, that’s a lot of stuff to carry, though supported options ease the burden, leaving you freer to look out for llama-like guanaco, calving ice and those classic Cuernos del Paine views. Thanks again for arranging it all and letting me tag along!I defernitely worried the puns wouldn’t make it in here! Silvery moss hung from trees like giant spiderwebs.
There is no menu, the waitress just brings you the meal they have cooked for that day.We were served a hearty lunch of vegetable soup, omelette with vegetables, rice and beans, homemade lemonade and yoghurt with a local honey (the dead bee in the jar of honey tipped me off to its local-ness).After lunch we were shown to our room which was in fact a gorgeous stand-alone log cabin, a few steps from the Comedor.
Thankfully, Meanwhile, we attempted to warm ourselves up by building a fire in the tiny fireplace. Ask for taxi to Benito Juarez/Cuajimoloyas.We payed 60 pesos per person for trip to Cuajimoloyas. Their knowledge of local history, flora and fauna is unmatched. Giant green beetles inched slowly across the path.We arrived into Latuvi in the early afternoon. These include an … No rain when I did it – it was dusty and dry. Would I try it again? Their constant smiles and laughter made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.As the guides are knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, it would have been beneficial to speak more than our rudimentary Spanish, but the most important thing is to smile back at these amazing people and just go with the flow.Hiking the Pueblos Mancomunados in Oaxaca was even more special than we could have imagined.We caught a local bus from the Second Class bus station to Benito Juarez where we began our Pueblos Mancomunados hike. There has been a couple posts about hiking in the Sierra Norte, the pueblos mancomunados, and the need for guides/organized tour packages.
Your accommodation looked absolutely stunning! Much more fun and they’ll give you the lift for free but better to give them a small tip anyway. After a bumpy two-and-a-half hours we arrived at the turn-off to the Pueblos Mancomunados village where we would be beginning our trek: Benito JuWe had a one hour walk along a deserted road surrounded by pine trees and aloe plants to reach Benito JuWe left Benito Juarez via a dirt path, following our local guide who was leading us to the next village, La Neveria, which was a predominantly uphill 8km slog.
Can you tell me, did you book accommodation ahead of of time or were you camping?Amazing!! We passed briefly through another of the villages, Lachatao, before arriving in Amatlán.The town of Amatlán felt distinctly more developed than Latuvi, perhaps due to closer proximity to good roads and easier access to bigger cities.
He shook our hands and bid us farewell with probably his only word of English ‘Hello’, unfortunately used in the wrong context. My husband and I are planning to backpack here in March and this is the most helpful info I’ve found on independent trekking. On Juarez Maza street, 100 metres BEFORE bus station you will find (right side) gates and area with taxis collectivo. The night was cold but we were given lots of warm blankets and sleep was blissful.The next morning we went to breakfast and were surprised to find the whole restaurant was filled up with adolescents. No. The office of Expediciones Sierra Norte in Oaxaca (find it here) sells trail maps for $50 pesos.
This little write-up is designed to answer some questions and provide help to would-be backpackers in the Pueblos Mancomunados. I know I can arrange accommodation in the cabañas through Sierra Norte but I always prefer to walk by myself and take my time.
All in all it provides a variety of hiking experiences and exposure to the cultures of distinctly different villages. Over 100km of trails link the eight villages.
