A good climb that starts from the Chalma river bridge with beautiful landscapes and intense heat, where you will see the huge tubes of the hydroelectric plant go down while you climb on your bicycle with enough effort to reach the top where there is a crossroads from the state highway and a public transport stop where you can take a breather under a bit of shade to regain strength for the next long and intense climb to reach Chalma or Malinalco.
The landscape changes from green with a sensation of humid heat near the banks of the river to the hot dry climate of this part of the State of Mexico until arriving again at other changes in vegetation and climate while climbing the hills of this road that reaches Santa Marta, where you can go to the Zempoala, Ajusco or Marquesa Lagoons, whether you have climbed through Chalma or through Malinalco it will be a long and steep climb with some breaks and that in times of rain, and even in others times, the water reaches you.
Do not forget to stock up on water and food to cross these routes since there are not many places to buy and the heat will charge you the bill if you do not anticipate. All this way to these places already mentioned are very beautiful and demanding for cycling, so smile and take advantage of every moment you spend in beautiful places and unrepeatable moments. Smile!
