Corazón up close

This is the summit part of the mountain, seen from the east. From here, the route goes to the north side of the mountain (to the right in the picture) and ascends from there. You could traverse it and end up in the valley to the south west, but for us that would present a small logistical problem: our camioneta was high on this side of the mountain! Most of the route is hiking, but there are a few places where you'll need your hands. 16 December 2010.
