A cooperative community that practices a great mix of traditional and modern farming methods, Yunguilla perches on the hillside in a cloud forest like the terraced gardens and fields the good people tend. Hiking trails, overnight home stays that would include practicing and learning sustainable farming techniques, and artisan produced farm products are only part of what you will find here.

Para realizar las actividades hay que ir al restaurante comunitario, dentro del mismo se tiene una excelente vista y acceso a 3 senderos. hay de 15 min 40min y otro de 1 hora hacia un riachuelo. Los senderos son fuertes ya que son cuestas bien empinadas. El costo por los senderos es de 4 dolares adultos y 2 niños.
Si bien el costo es alto para el sendero estan bien mantenidos con cuerdas y buenos agarres, varios miradores y bien señalizado aun a pesar del mismo el costo nos parecio algo alto.
En el restaurante hay como acampar por 10 por persona. el lugar es bonito y hay acceso a un baño y fogata.
A 20 minutos de caminata existe una sola tienda comunitaria con yogur mermeladas y snacks con productos de la zona.
El camino para llegar es estrecho pero esta bien mantenido hay que ir despacio ya que es bien culebrero y no se puede ver correctamente si viene otro auto.
El clima es frio templado y esta a 2800. A su vez la comida del restaurante esta como a 10 el plato grande y 5 otros varios.

Aun asi hay falta de actividades...
