Monte Escobedo hiker dies after 30-meter fall into ravine

A 52-year-old hiker, identified as Manuel Pérez Acero, died after falling into a ravine more than 30 meters deep in the Monte Escobedo mountains in Zacatecas. The accident occurred during a period of heavy rainfall while Pérez Acero was part of a group of approximately 30 hikers from the “Salvajes de la Pradera” group.

Emergency responders, including Civil Protection, firefighters, and state police, used ropes and descent systems to recover the body from the difficult-to-access area near several waterfalls. Authorities are conducting an investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the fall.
