Trip with friends “Travel and learn in the Sierra Gorda” / Viaje entre amigos “Viaja y aprende en la Sierra Gorda”

After almost 3 years the Ecoclub has resumed its environmental trips. On October 13 to 15, an incredible trip was made among friends with the aim of enjoying and valuing the nature of the Sierra Gorda Queretana, getting to know the different ecosystems. We learned new things with the specialists who live in the region but above all, we had fun and spent time with people who value nature.

We visited the wonderful Cuatro Palos lookout and the Chuveje waterfall where we were able to take a tour through the forest observing a gallery of poplar trees. In the Ayutla River we took a tour to identify the local flora and fauna and we also had a great time with all the participants making wood-fired pizzas.

Finally, we went to Concá where we were able to visit the ancient tree that is the second oldest after the tule tree located in Oaxaca. Finally, we ended up visiting the Franciscan mission of Miguel Concá

If you want to live this experience, we invite you to be part of the Ecoclub next school year.

Después de casi 3 años el Ecoclub retomó las salidas ambientales. Los pasados días del 13 al 15 de octubre se realizó un increíble viaje entre amigos con el objetivo de disfrutar y valorar la naturaleza de la Sierra Gorda Queretana, conociendo los diferentes ecosistemas. Aprendimos cosas nuevas con los especialistas que viven en la región, pero, sobre todo, nos divertimos y convivimos con personas que valoran la naturaleza.

Visitamos el maravilloso mirador de Cuatro Palos y la cascada el Chuveje en donde pudimos hacer un recorrido por el bosque observando una galería de árboles de álamos. En el río Ayutla realizamos un recorrido para identificar la flora y la fauna, pero también tuvimos una gran convivencia con todos los participantes realizando pizzas al horno de leña.

Por último, nos fuimos a Concá donde pudimos visitar el árbol milenario que es el segundo más antiguo después del árbol del tule ubicado en Oaxaca. Por último, terminamos visitando la misión Franciscana de Miguel Concá

Si quieres vivir esta experiencia te invitamos a que seas parte del Ecoclub el próximo ciclo escolar

From early on, students participated in many team games. Although the competition was fierce, the highlight was the incredible camaraderie, with students cheering each other on and forming bonds that strengthened their team spirit. The most anticipated moment of the day was undoubtedly JJ's birthday party. Friends from other schools, such as Cumbres, Anáhuac, Plenus, Newland, Cuauhtémoc, Gallos Negros, and Celta, joined in on the celebration.
