Itinerary description
Very nice trail. Changing between fields and jungle. I recommend it only in dry weather. It’s sometimes muddy and slippery. The trail crosses the river two times.

Beautiful trail, although not an easy one to follow. We lost & found it a few times until finally managed to lose it for good and got completely lost after the second river crossing. Got our way out by a Moto taxi from one of the nearby farms. There are multiple horse trail over there and it gets confusing. If you go after or during rainy days be prepared for a muddy trail.

Excellent, fun, quite demanding hike, lots of diversity, magnificent landscapes and views. Easy to get lost without the app, especially around the two river crossings. At the first one we took off our shoes and waded through; at the second crossing we had to search around for a while to find out where to pass. Some pretty steep slopes along sandy / muddy mule tracks. Probably impossible after rain, because we did it in dry season and it was still quite slippery at times.
Crosses lots of private property lines. On the second crossing, it’s the second river that merges with the first one you have to cross, so we had to go up river slightly to find that — we had crossed the wrong branch at first

Followed the trail in rainy season. It was muddy, but not so much that a good pair of hiking boots couldn't handle it. Landscape is amazing, but I had to carry the phone on one hand and look at the gps constantly to find my way between the two river crossings. As mentioned before, on the second river do not cross the first one you see; go to your right and cross, then there is a steep path going to the top. Took me around 3 hours. I'd recommend only if you're looking for a bit of an adventure.
Nice trial, but it is not used very often. It is a bit overgrown and sometimes hard to see. But this adds to the charm. I would recommend wearing long pants because up in the hills your walking through high vegetation constantly.
NO HACER ESTA RUTA. EL CAMINO NO ESTA MARCADO, ES MUY FACIL PERDERSE Y NO ESTA EN CONDICIONES PARA ANDAR. SOBRE TODO NO HACER EN TEMPORADA EN LA QUE LLUEVA.
