Itinerary description

Beautiful hike from Garganta del Diablo, great views along the way, once I reached the valley it was hard to find the trail up, once you find the trail the way up is not demanding…
A proper footwear is a must as there are cactuses everywhere around the summit.
I heard there are shorter ways to reach the top but more difficult.


First part is the classic hike to garganta del Diablo, from this point the trail is not marked.

Second part is continue the trail and once it ends you will be in a valley, I have taken a trail that is actually on a privet property (I was not aware of it, you can follow my descent to stay off the property.

Third part is the ascent zig zagging your way to the top.
