    Meeting point for mountain bikers. At that point there are connections for different dirt roads and single-tracks of the Desierto de los Leones National Park.

    Access to the park. It's true that it belongs to the local community and they have the right to restrict access, so they charge a fee, but if insecurity persists during the week (sometimes on weekends too), people will continue to disagree with the fee.
    Furthermore, corruption and abuse lie behind the story of the Desierto de los Leones National Park. Community elders say it was sold twice to the government, and parts of it were never handed over to the National Park. They continue to belong to the community members who profit from the park.

    La Pluma Amarilla is one of the most recognizable entrances to Desierto de los Leones National Park. Signposted and surrounded by forest, it's an ideal starting point for hiking or biking in the area. Several shaded trails lead from here into the park's mountainous terrain.
