Description of the route and surroundings
The route begins at the old corral of the Santa Ana hacienda, up to the entrance to the San Luis de El Pedregal Agricultural Association. After analyzing the agricultural frontier, you enter through the corrals where the chagras work the fighting cattle, and then arrive at a lookout point. Finally, we arrive at the base of the Rumiñahui rock and return by making a circuit to the San Luis Association to finish again in Santa Ana.
During the tour you can see in the San Luis Agricultural Association crops of potatoes, beans, onions, melloco, dairy cattle and a milk collection center of the community for the benefit of all small producers. The best time to visit is during the dry season.
The average temperature is 11° C.
