One of the few larger relatively dry spots in the valley/canyon. Lots of midges-like stinging insects during the day when there's sunlight in the valley/canyon.

    2023/03: nous sommes tombés au bout de 2 km sur la propriétaire du lieu, c'est une estancia, donc c'est privé. Nous avons fait demi tour.
