The walking trail winds through the pedestrian enclosures of Africam Safari, a wildlife park in Valsequillo reached by direct bus or taxi from Puebla city center in about 30 minutes. The 2.5 km circuit is flat with minimal elevation change, taking 1.5 to 2 hours to complete at a relaxed pace suited to visitors of all ages. The surface is paved and packed-dirt pathway throughout, with intermittent shade from trees and shelters near animal enclosures, though much of the route is exposed to direct sun. Along the way, the path passes walk-through areas with giraffes, birds, and other non-predatory species, as well as viewing points for the park's drive-through safari zones. The circuit loops back to the entrance, so there is no separate turnaround point. Water and food are available at stations within the park, and restrooms are located near the main entrance and at intervals along the route.
