Hike in the Sierra de Santa Rosa

This walk is customized according to the interests of the traveler, it can be done in the Sierra or in La Bufa. You will hear anecdotes of old feats that occurred on the Camino Real Tierra Adentro. This road from the 16th century was one of the great feats of our history, since it made possible the transfer, settlement and migration of people, religion, traditions and merchandise from Mexico City to Santa Fe in New Mexico. The term Tierra Adentro referred to the lands far from the coast that, because they were unknown to the Spaniards, were risky, while they were already known to the natives, especially in the north where these brave Chichimeca warriors were found. The silver and gold deposits were the incentive to enter the paths full of surprises and dangers; the unexpected always loomed beyond the undulations of the terrain that blocked the view….
