A war-historic hike...

The adventure begins with a 30 min. Drive on a road with breath taking views to Lake Suchitlan and neghboring mountains and fields.

Once at the park entrance we will meet with Don Rafael, alias " Santos" during our past civil conflict.

 

Being a local farmer who was trained in Cuba as special forces sniper and served during all the conflict as a unit commander on the rebel's side. He will share his anecdotes and the farmer's point of view of war. 

 

After his speach we will be ready to enjoy the forest and interpret the remains of trenches, vietnamese kitchen, campsite, etc along the trail.

The hike itself is over rugged terrain and uneven steps. The trail is only 2miles. Going from 400 to 545 meters above sea level.
