<\/figure><\/div>\n\nI’m not sure why, but waking up for a sunrise hike always feels more rewarding to me. And I found that to be especially true when waking up for the sunrise in Mirador Cuatro Palos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps it was because I manage to peel myself out of bed from under the layers of blankets after a few snoozes of the alarm. Or maybe it was the altitude at Cuatro Palos, high above everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But most certainly the breathtaking views from El Mirador de Cuatro Palos made this early morning hike particularly rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we reached the lookout point, the rising sun peaked above the mountains and the light started to stream across the Sierra Gorda. It was mesmerizing to watch the deep green valleys wake up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuatro Palos, Queretaro is considered the gateway to the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve. It’s located in a remote location from which you can see a vast expanse of the Sierra Gorda landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this guide, you’ll learn everything you need to know, including how to hike to the mirador and stay in the Cuatro Palos caba\u00f1as.<\/p>\n\n\n
