PVR-207 - Hiking at El Nogalito

 

A family friendly tour!

 

Where the river and the mountains meet the ocean!  Nestled in a valley of the Sierra Madre mountain range, this natural eden offers thick lush sub-tropical vegetation, a river of crystalline quality and the peacefulness of a quiet Mexican village. El Nogalito actually means “little oak” and got this name from the small oaks found in the higher regions up the river.

 

This trip offers you the perfect way to discover this truly unique paradise by foot so you don’t miss anything. Starting from the furthermost end of the town, a hike up this river will take you to places seldom visited.  The pristine quality of the river along with its soothing sounds and the enchanting bird songs will transport you back in time.  

 

As you hike on the river, a canopy consisting of trumpet trees, red paper trees, palms and strangler figs, amongst many, create a shade under which you will be quite comfortable at any time of the day.  Ferns, orchids, colorful butterflies and dragon flies, camouflaged lizards and many other species will embellish the scenery.

 

After about two hours of hiking through this magnificent vegetation, you come across a small water cascade flowing into a pool of crystal clear water where you may enjoy a refreshing swim. This location is the ideal place for a small rest and light lunch.

 

For this trip we recommend that you wear good soled sandals (Teva style) or tennis shoes you don’t mind getting wet, as a fair part of the hike is carried out in the river while stepping between the smooth rocks.
