Itinerary description
|
In total from the village of Thangappuwa there are 16 km round trip, passing the waterfall only on the way back. And in D+ I have 1350m. No network or very little. We had a hiking GPS. This hike is traced from the summit towards the village. I actually made a return trip from the village and started recording as I turned around. My battery stopped at the waterfall so for the final path follow the trail that has already been posted or on Maps me. It's very beautiful but technical and we had a lot of leeches which forced us to stop very often. To do in dry weather, with salt in your pocket to remove the attached leeches. As there is not much information on the sector I am still posting this incomplete trace. I would like to point out that the last portion of the last 2 summits is almost off-trail because it is rarely used but it is playable on sight.
