Piedra Larga Hike – Full Day Adventure
Duration:11 hours total
16 km / 10 miles of guided hiking
740 meters elevation gain
Description
This Hike takes you to one of the prettiest views of Oaxaca. A little demanding because of the distance and the elevation of the Hike nonetheless totally worth it to do. This Hike is very special because of what you can see during the trail. Going through the forest from the bottom of the Mountain and then Hiking up to the top where you’ll reach two viewpoints with an astonishing view of the Valley that words and images can not totally describe. Piedra Larga is the first stop and the first spot where We´ll take a break to appreciate the view and relax then will continue Hiking to the next Viewpoint is Piedra larga which is big rock that let you see the Valley from the side and compare the altitude from the top to the bottom of the Valley the Trees seems small on this point. After this We’ll start going Down Ready for lunch. At this hike there are multiple tall trees that provide shade and a little creek of water so no matter where you look it’s going to be green. That is why this is one of my favorite hikes to do. During the Hike I will tell you more alongside the local Guide who will accompany us about the Zapotec culture and the community that the trail belongs to, how they manage the forest, their customs and traditions, and what is expected from the women and men of the community. I am also sharing the Zapotec names for some of the things We’ll find on the Hike. When We finish hiking We´ll go for lunch in one local restaurant which uses local organic ingredients for preparing the meals that are made with dedication and prepare by local hands.
