Itinerary description
Asking around I found to tracks in Silvia. One is this one which is going alongside the street. You can see some small villages and several fish tanks. As the way is long, I hitchhiked up and walked down towards Silvia. But there are also cars going up and which can take you to the starting point. Telling the driver you want to go to `Peña de Corazon´ should be enough. At the starting point you see three pyramid shaped mountains. Later on you will see some more of those. It is said that these hills have powers and they are mystic places. Close by is the rock Peña de Corazon. It is a massive rock which looks like a face or from a different ankle like a heart. Also this stone is important for the indigenous people in this area. As I did not went with a guide I don’t know a lot about the meaning and symbolism, I just had a small talk with a guide alongside the road. If you would like to have more information you can find guides in the main square.
Further down, if you are hungry, try some of the local speciality - trout. There are several places where you can sit nicely and rest a bit enjoying some nice food.
