Anyway enjoy!Would you confirm your route please. But haven't used it in years, as lately I hike from the desviacion.Cuajimoloyas and Llano Grande have the most direct transportation from Oaxaca. 1. The green area on the map, Pueblos Mancomunados, is particularly popular with birders and nature lovers. You need to show payment at any time?

Just spent 3 days in the PM. But I do rent accommodation in one of the villages on the first and last days of my trip (by contrast, many hikers come up for day trips, or arrive early in the morning from Oaxaca and then leave late on their final day), so I have a clear conscience about helping the communities.I got a free but very simple small glossy map for the villages. If you plan on departing at 7 AM, I suggest buying your ticket a day in advance as a couple of times it's been full.

The mountains of the Sierra Norte, two hours’ bus journey north of Oaxaca, are home to a cluster of villages, a semi-autonomous community known as “Pueblos Mancomunados” (meaning “united villages”), where you can stay in simple adobe cabañas called “tourist yu’u” (pronounced “you”).

And if so, from where? Meals are approx 50 MXN. Would appreciate, mileage + elevation gain/loss in simple terms from town to town. But your narrative tells a slightly different story.I've gotten lost several times, and met many other hikers who've gotten lost because the trails weren't marked, so perhaps things have changed. The dorm beds in the cabanas used to be a standard rate of 180 MXN per night in all the communities.I find the pueblos mancomunados in Oaxaca's sierra norte a great place to hike in Mexico. I read this was a good way to save money, but also that it can be quite time consuming and/or logistically difficult? The intended direction a trail should be ridden. Is it also possible to take a day trip to Benito Juárez for the day leaving early morning, doing some day hikes there, and checking out the footbridge?

Here, 62mi (100km) of tracks connect the villages, and in each village, you'll find accommodation, food, or a guide to take you hiking. Downloading a map on a phone not doable for me.
