La Ventana - 78496 Ville de Arriaga

The window is a very nice place. The road / dirt road is in poor condition, it is preferable to go by truck, pickup or similar. When you arrive at the ejido they charge you $ 50 pesos per person or depending on how they see you. It takes about 2 hours to go up and 1.5hrs to go down. Good condition is needed.

Excellent hiking / trekking route, requires good physical condition and a certain level of stamina. The view rewards the effort!

The journey is long and somewhat difficult by car, preferably bring a truck, enough water and some energy bar, walking is approximately 2 hours one way and 2 hours back. For you to consider.

It is part of the Sierra de San Miguelito, surrounded by a forest of pines and oaks to get there you have to follow a 10 km intermediate level trail. A few meters from there is the 3rd highest elevation in San Luis Potosí with 2867 meters above sea level. This difficult climb but has spectacular views. In the community of La Amapola there is a man who charges you 50 pesos per person for access. From here you can see the calderas of Minera México, you can also see Conejos table.

Notice: WE COULD NOT REACH THE WINDOW ... At the entrance they tell you that the path is marked with small colored strips ... And it is true, in most of the way there are these strips ... Unfortunately there is a part (where access becomes difficult) where the strips or the stone mounds NO LONGER APPEAR. THERE ISN'T A TRAIL THAT IS VISIBLE TO WALK ... From below you cannot see well where you have to walk ... The road is a little more demanding than what Google maps marks ... (I don't know how long it says) The entrance to the ejido (where the road begins) has a very worn entrance by the rains, so a small vehicle struggles to get up ... I recommend going by pick-up or something all-terrain ... The path is NOT recommended for children, since it is about 3 hours one way and something like 2 hours back ... (The period will be longer if you stop to eat lunch or something like that) and as it is on the rise it is something demanding ... Nor do I recommend going on your own ... Since last we were able to see the place where the window is located ... We tried to go up one side ... And maybe it was the other ... So in attempts you lose time and energy. .. It is better to go with someone who knows the route. The view in general is quite pleasant to look at and the path full of trees and moss makes it less tiring for how beautiful it is ... I would say that it is like this because I had to go in the rainy season and this year it has rained too much ... Maybe in other seasons my view changed ... The town judge charges you a fee of 50 pesos when entering the ejido and although it is not a lot of money, if enough people go ... So I think they should take the time to mark the route well ... I think we We would be looking forward to returning or recommending the route.

A great adventure. If you are not in good condition, I do not recommend it, unless you go early, otherwise it will take a long time and you will not arrive, pay attention to the signs, everything is marked

Spectacular place, the path is marked by strips and painted stones but it is still easy to get lost, I recommend downloading the “Wikiloc” app and downloading the map of the route. It is completely worth getting to the destination, although at times it is a bit heavy.
