Itinerary description

Esta ruta es un clásico de trekkeros. El Cerro Pochoco (lugar de agua en abundancia) es un cerro altamante concurrido en los fines de semanas por personas que comienzan con el trekking y por otras que simplemente lo utilizan para subirlo corriendo en muy poco tiempo.
Es un cerro en donde se gana altura en un corta distancia, por lo que para principiantes lo hace retador, en especial en el último tercio del sendero. En esta etapa, hay que tener cuidado porque se debe escalar un poco (tampoco es algo de peligro).
Estando en la cumbre, se puede seguir por el sendero que ca al Cerro Pochocón, un cerro a muy corta distancia de la cumbre del Pochoco que se puede hacer caminando unos 30 o 40 minutos más.

This route is a classic trekking route. The Pochoco Hill (place of abundant water) is a high hill concurred in the weekends by people that begin with the trekking and by others that simply use it to climb it running in very little time.
It is a hill where height is gained in a short distance, so for beginners makes it challenging, especially in the last third of the trail. In this stage, you have to be careful because you have to climb a little (it's not dangerous either).
Being at the top, you can follow the path that falls into Cerro Pochocón, a hill at a very short distance from the peak of Pochoco that can be done walking about 30 or 40 minutes more.
Due to the high traffic, the trail is quite eroded. The descent should be done with caution.
