Hiking around Flor de Pochote
| To facilitate the exploration of the Flor de Pochote farm, we have marked three
hiking
trails around the area.
The trails are easy to follow on your own, as there are
plenty of signs and painted spots showing the way. Along the trails
you will also find small signs telling the names of the trees or other
interesting information.
We can also facilitate a guide who will
give complementary information and help you to get around. |
