Marker for the Rout 5 trail in the Pueblos Mancomunados - Ixtlán District, Sierra Norte, Oaxaca, Mexico. The Rout 5 trail, known as Latzi-Hroo-lii in the native Zapotec language, is part of an extensive trail system connecting the villages. The Pueblos Mancomunados are a group of eight communities in the Sierra Norte that have been working together for decades. The villages range in size from a few hundred people to over a thousand. Together, they strive to conserve their forest through projects including sustainable forestry and selective logging, ecotourism, education projects, and the prohibition of private property within their communities.
