Itinerary description

Starts again with nice downhill from Hostal Taita Cristóbal, We were told by hostel the route we wanted to take was not accessible anymore and showed a new route. We were so eager to get going we walked past the first turn off which is small grassy slope off the main track which i have waypoint so you don't make same mistake. There is 2 options halfway along when sign shows 2 ways picture posted as waypoint. Main sign takes an easier route along road. Second up and down the side of canyon. The first part is not bad either way but the second part has a section which is killer. Just take time slowly make way up it and you are rewarded with amazing view point just to recover and enjoy. The last part of the trail is little bit of let down ss you follow a main concrete road for few kms.
We ended and stayed at Hostal El Vaquero which has really nice rooms with a view, hot shower and recently installed sauna and steam room which was amazing to do after walking and relax before the main uphill the following day.
