Itinerary description

First four km is barranco and took two hours. Difficult first part but beautiful track and nice challenge. As soon as out of the barranco the track is relatively easy. Good to follow but seen the distance, elevation and the first 4 km, this is definitely rated as difficult.

From the original walk we shipped las hermosas part.... May regret that now. Next time better.

    Trail with nice views and I liked the forest parts a lot as well. I did this to opposite direction so the last kilometers in the river bed were quite challenging because I was running out of light. There are a lot steep drops because of the waterfalls so I advice to take that part carefully.

    Thanks for your feedback. Tha barranco is the best part, so your last bit, but also has a few difficult passages. Going the other way around is an interesting option as it could be easier to follow the track that way.
