Itinerary description

This trail begins at a higher altitude and is a good cardio exercise, given that you will gain and lose elevation multiple times during the hike.

Highly recommended to drive up to Waypoint X, the actual starting point of the looped hike. We had to walk up an approx 3.5km of gravel road to reach this point because of the road being uneven at certain points - thanks to recent rains.

Recommendations:
Check for local weather conditions and authorities' notices before following this trail as it goes through some gorges. It means that rains could cause flash floods (during the winter months).
