The place is extraordinary! Abundant nature that seeks balance.
Unfortunately it is abandoned! And it is a pity that there is no good administration to help maintain the place and take care of the space and access to the place.
On the one hand, it is perfect that so many people do not go to continue damaging the ecosystem, on the other hand, if it is already so well built, it should be used responsibly and make it self-sustaining.
I do not understand what kind of "University" was built there and with what permits they did it, nor what was the purpose of all that investment in such a beautiful place, it seems quite suspicious to me that the cabins and all the infrastructure are so "well done" for a place so far away, it seems (maybe I'm wrong) that someone abused some power and/or "levers" to build so much. Anyway, if everything is already in place and rotting, at least make it useful and do it well. Make a self-sustaining ecotourism place to create awareness. I wish it so.
We arrived by bike and the experience was very fun, and at least we didn't pollute arriving in vehicles.
To get to the place you will need food and water, which you can buy in Huautla or before entering the Tlaquiltenango highway (right at the junction with the Jojutla-Chinameca highway, or perhaps in Quilamula where there is also a dam that connects to Cruz Pintada. The heat can be over 40ºC so be prepared to sweat and avoid dehydration.
A road in poor condition that takes you to the place, where you go up and then go down to the dam; between holes, pieces of light dirt and trees that want to eat the paved road.
