We went on a bit of a hike to the Charco del Ingenio Botanical Garden. We walked from the hostel. After cutting through the market and grabbing another hand pressed juice - we made our ascent up the hill.
So far the parks we've seen (mainly the big one in Guadalajara centro) have been pretty dismal. However, Charco del Ingenio was pretty awesome - especially if you like deserts/cacti (I love 'em). It made for a great afternoon outing. They use the park as a sanctuary for endangered species, it is a historical reservoir that empties into an impressive canyon and site of an old mill (only a few bricks left).
I also love ants...so as a bonus we saw a couple long lines of ants harvesting plants for food. So cool!
Bonus Ants!
