Route Description
The trail starts at the end of the road, winding through the forest on steep slopes, after about 1.5 hours you reach El Cuervo, wich is a nice camping spot, then the trail goes southwest on gentler slopes for another 70 minutes to La Calle, from there the actual summit is reached hiking up a small hill to the north.
The whole trail is well worn and straight forward.
