High Point

This is a "must do trail" in the Sierra Gorda Queretana.
Long 1.5 track that takes you from the mirador of 4 palos to Bucarelli.
Beautiful views, very tall gorges and tight switchbacks.

While the route itself isn't tecnically "very difficult" half of it passes around very tall and dangeroues gorges.
This is not a place where you would like to miss a turn.

*You must ensure you have powerful brakes in excellent working order if you plan to ride this route.
** A dual suspension MTB with at least 140mm of travel is recommended.
