Itinerary description
This is our day 2: we started our exploration from the abandoned village we camped in, towards the terrace fields (they looked kinda of maintained) and we scrambled around until our "time-to-turn-back-time".
Then we followed the way back until we did a mix of: trails, goat paths and totally random passages! It is not very difficult, you just go up and down between gorges (just one section was a bit challenging: we went down a cliff so we had to be extra careful because of our bulky backpacks). Check your GPS from time to time to ensure your aim your exit point!
Again, beautiful scenery of rocks types (from white long crystals to "rusted" stones with many sharp grey rocks) and many ruins and abandoned villages and even graves.
