Itinerary description
Distance: 0.4 Km.
Difficulty: Easy
Duration: 15 Min
Branching off from the Terciopelo Trail as an alternate route to Piro beach, Sendero Las Rocas shares many of the same characteristics. The trail is 0.45 km and ends in an often flooded area dominated by spiny palms (Bactris major) between the forest and the beach. Depending on the tide and the course of the Piro River, the water level can reach 40-100 cm. The trail ends near a rocky outcropping where temporary tidal ponds form, allowing you to see interesting marine invertebrates. Locals often fish on these rocks, but you should be very careful when the tide is rising, as powerful crashing waves make this a potentially dangerous pastime.
