Once we arrive, we´ll start the hike into the CLOUD forest where we will see a lot of local plants like ferns, stunning GIANT agaves, wildflowers, pine trees, oaks, wild MUSHROOMS (in rain season) and many more, as we hike up through gorgeous forest trails, until we reach the view point and WATCH TOWER at 3,200 metres.
