Itinerary description

A fairly long walk that takes you to over 3000 metres and quite probably into the clouds. Wonderful views over Cahuasqui to Pablo Arenas and beyond. There is a footpath route but it is difficult to find from the bottom. As a result we went up to San Francisco on the track (not paved, very little traffic) and returned by the footpath. San Francisco is like stepping back in time 50 years at least. Locals were very friendly.
