Itinerary description

Show original
It is a shame and at the same time it is the best thing that can happen to a path. That it is not indicated and you have to look for it as Indiana Jones. In the Capulín car park, there is a small bus that leaves the side of the road. My son and I have made rock cakes to make the start a little clearer. Then, following the path is very simple up to the peak, where you can enjoy views of the Sandía ridge. If you go around Capulín Peak a little, the path continues downwards. It ends in a spectacular viewpoint, where you can see Palomas Peak and the Placitas valley.
Thanks Logan for the ride
