Itinerary description
I finally got it right (almost). This hike has a couple of predecessors listed on Wikiloc (including Morazan 3 and 4) but this is the best version. You get the traffic/main roads out of the way early. It provides some nice views, has decent elevation changes, a few small streams and some wildlife. Minor portions are tricky (the section from the hidden waypoint at around 4.5km could be done differently, maybe walk a little further down the hill before turning right). But generally you are on a path or a road so the footing is good.
There are a couple of places near the beginning and the end that have food/snacks and drinks as well as places to park.
