Tres Picos overnighter is a route through the most representative national parks and highest peaks of the Valley of Mexico City: Ajusco, Dinamos and Desierto de los Leones. The route starts in the bike path ‘Ferrocarril a Cuernavaca’ which used to be an old railroad. The bike path will take you up a slight 2 to 5% ascent to the first peak, Ajusco, you will pass through different neighborhoods, a swap meet, a creek and beautiful panoramic views of the south of Mexico City. Then you will have to ride a part of the Picacho-Ajusco road to reach the entrance of the San Nicolás de Totolapan Ecological Park in Ajusco National Park, where the adventure through the forest begins. This forest is known for being the Water Forest, it captures a big part of the water that supplies the city. You will be able to see many different types of pine, ferns and mushrooms. You will ride through a wide dirt road through the connection with Dinamos National Park, in Dinamos you will be able to rest at a camping spot with a restaurant and a nice panoramic view of the famous 'Coconetla' canyon. The next day you will continue riding through Los Dinamos National Park, near the camping spot you will find restaurants with local food, as well as a dam. After the dam you will start a steep ascent to the Dinamos-Desierto de los Leones connection, it has some segments with 15% ramps, short but challenging. After the hard climb you will reach a valley with nice views to the Magdalena and you will descend through a part of the San Miguel circuit. The route ends in the old villages around Desierto de los Leones, where you will see old colonial churches and local markets.
