Cerro de la Silla
Today Shaylee and I climbed Cerro de la Silla from Macharos. It was a shorter climb than I had yesterday. We went with a local so he could point out the Aztec pyramid in the forest near the summit. It hadn't been excavated, but had been grave robbed.
After visiting the pyramid, we headed for the summit. There was a nice viewpoint just before the summit and we could see all the way to snow covered Nevado Toluca.
We saw several birds including hawks and eagles.
After enjoying the views we headed over the summit and came down a different route. It was a nice hike.
After the hike we head to take a taxi to Zitácuaro and then a bus to Mexico City since we had to fly out the next morning.
