Maravilloso.. I enjoyed hiking there.. the weather and the views were fantastic.. it took about five hours between go and back and that to visit the tow tops of two mountains or you can only visit the first top and it will take less than 3 hours .. the road between medium and high.. there is a peaces of the road dangerous you have to be careful when you clime.. I don’t advise to take children with you.. Highly recommended you...
