This is a fun mixed route to a trail in the deserts that go from the Botanical garden trough Zapotitán town entrance to Cerro Salado on the other side of the dried creek that goes all the way to Zapotitlán. From the botanical garden, you have to take a little bit of the highway to town and then dirt roads in the first left entrance (by the Building materials store) then some dirt roads until you reach a single track at some 2 km after crossing the creek. The climb to Cerro Salado is not hard but long but then the come back downhill is so much fun. Take with you spare tubes and tire repair kits as you will be riding in true desert trails with loots of prickly, thorny stuff.
