Hermoso lugar. La vista del Cerro desde la ruta es hermosisimo, no se aprecia estando en el lugar. Realizarlo liviano de equipaje. Excelentes artesanias para el que le gusta comprar. Se puede comer en el lugar. En medio día se puede hacer tranquilamente. Hay hospedajes pero la verdad no investigue mucho al respecto. Vale la pena el viaje!!! Realice el viaje en septiembre 2015
