Itinerary description

Starting at 3000m in el Angel, follow the main road north which elevates to 3300m.
Following this elevation continue on a long descent trhough Mira to the Panamerican Highway at 1500m. Make sure you have bought water before the Panamerican as gas stations do not always have bottled water.
Continue along the highway for 5km, until you see the sign for Ibarra on your right (approximately 1km after the tool station).
Continue on the sand, gravel road which elevates slowly until \Igelsia de Pimen at 2200m.
The last 3km elevate sharply until you reach Pimen at 2700m. From here, cobbled roads lead you to the Panamerican highway at 2500m.
