    Beautiful walk from route 68 within Quebrada de las Conchas. First half of walk can be described as how a giant would feel walking though the Grand Canyon - far smaller scale but still beautiful. Once you break through t...

    Amazing trail that ends overlooking a valley with a extensive colour palette. It is worth descending into the valley.

    Technically easy hike- clear rock path to the summit which is never too steep to cause any technical problems. Obviously it’s a high ascent so you need to be fit but easy to do.

    Ese no es el cerro golgota y por ende no es la cima. Ese lugar es conocido como abra de la virgen del caminante.

    Not tiring trail, but challenging due to multiple river crossing (take spare socks) and easy to loose trail. At the entrance fake guides will try to make you pay, but all you need to pay is a 20 pesos fee.
