La Bufa

Hola,

The past three days have been very relaxing. I have been visiting friends an buying gifts for folks back at home. On December 29, I hiked La Bufa, a mountain that has cultural significance in Guanajuato. La Bufa offers a scenic view of the city of Guanajuato and a thrilling hike for all skill levels. This was the drive there:

The hike, for me, was in two parts. The first is near the base, which is a series of caves.

The second is the actual climbing of the mountain itself. It is a challenge by choice, it can be climbed on a shallow route, or be a full-out rock climb. I took a mix of the two so that I felt challenged but also relatively comfortable. The top is a great reward, no matter how you scale the mountain.

24 seconds into the video above, you can see the smaller mountain we climbed. For this one, team effort is required to summit, and it is definitely more on the challenging side. However, it is a fantastic activity to conquer a fear of heights. The following three photos are from that second summit.

 Gracias por leer, y feliz año nuevo,
Benjamín
