Guadalajara is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Mexico. In the “Pearl of the West” you will find everything, because here culture, industry and recreation come together to offer the traveler innumerable options for a fun vacation.

For those looking for different experiences or an ecotourism option, Guadalajara also offers natural paradises worthy of being admired and visited. Today we share one of them: the Barranca de Huentitán or Oblates.

Getting away from the city and breathing in some fresh air is what many of us need after a week of monotony and stress. That is why when you get closer to the Barranca de Huentitán and you begin to perceive the aroma of wet grass, the spirit begins to come into balance.

For many years, this place was a way to reach different municipalities of Jalisco, but today it is an ecological-sports site that invites physical well-being, relaxation and adventure, and which was declared a Protected Natural Area since 1997.

On the stone and dirt paths of its ravines you can walk and immerse yourself in the thick vegetation of the area. Here, in a single day you can see various types of vegetation such as tropical deciduous forest, gallery forest, rock vegetation and secondary vegetation, for this reason, the place is considered a biogeographic corridor and is visited year after year by national and international researchers.

The richness of its endemic flora is not the only reason to marvel at this canyon. To fully enjoy this place, it is worth visiting its main points such as the Chapel, La Vía and its three viewpoints (Huentitán, Mirador Dr. Atl and Parque Mirador Independencia) that guarantee a unique view.

During the walk you will be able to appreciate waterfalls, a river, a large bridge and many natural corners that you will want to photograph.

To get the most out of your visit, you can plan a picnic and prepare some roasted meats on the available burners or if you prefer, there is a restaurant that offers varied dishes for all tastes. There are also covered areas to eat with tables and children’s games.

Para quienes buscan experiencias diferentes o una opción de ecoturismo, Guadalajara también ofrece paraísos naturales dignos de ser admirados y recorridos. Hoy les compartimos uno de ellos: la Barranca de Huentitán o de Oblatos.

Alejarte un poco de la ciudad y respirar un poco de aire fresco es lo que muchos de nosotros necesitamos luego de una semana de monotonía y estrés. Es por eso que cuando te vas acercando a la Barranca de Huentitán y empiezas a percibir el aroma a hierba mojada, el espíritu comienza a entrar en balance.

Durante muchos años, este lugar fue una vía para llegar a diferentes municipios de Jalisco, pero hoy es un sitio ecológico-deportivo que invita al bienestar físico, la relajación y la aventura, y que fue decretado Área Natural Protegida desde 1997.

En los caminos de piedra y tierra de sus barrancas puedes caminar y sumergirte en la espesa vegetación de la zona. Aquí, en un solo día puedes ver diversos tipos de vegetación como bosque tropical caducifolio, bosque de galería, vegetación rupícula y vegetación secundaria, por esta razón, el lugar es considerado como corredor biogeográfico y año con año es visitado por investigadores nacionales e internacionales.

La riqueza de su flora endémica no es la única razón para maravillarse con esta barranca. Para disfrutar al máximo de este lugar, vale la pena recorrer sus principales puntos como la Capilla, La Vía y sus tres miradores (Huentitán, Mirador Dr. Atl y el Parque Mirador Independencia) que te garantizan una vista única.

Durante la caminata podrás apreciar caídas de agua, un río, un gran puente y muchos rincones naturales que querrás fotografiar.
