What to expect
This is the peninsula's dry interior: farming villages, plum trees and wide views over the hills. It is the way to Sacachún and San Biritute.
Good to know
The dry forest here is the most fire-prone in the province from July to December. Never leave a fire unattended — see Natural Hazards on the Peninsula.
