Yesterday morning we went for a bit of a trek and climbed one of the 'peaks' surrounding Guanajuato (the lump of rock here) - the directions that my gf had were loose at best. We first walked to the dam on the east side of town, as that was where it seemed the trail head was. Nope.
So we decided to make the best of the walk and walked along Panorámica Road...until the hill appeared. Still, we were unsure of where to go (looking at the sat images, it's clear)...so we just climbed straight up a ridge to a road that seemed to lead to where we wanted to go.
Turned out, it was the path we were looking for. It was a grind up the back but the view was amazing.
We stayed up there as long as we could (temps were rising and we didn't really have much in the way of water/food) and descended - bought a bottle of ron (rum) and called it a day. Unfortunately, the combination of dehydration from hiking/sunburn and alcohol lead to a bit of a slow day today. After the rum, we checked out a local hole in the wall called 'Los Lobos' with a few other hostelites.
