It's worth stopping to admire the views and take a photo. An accessible port where you can see a palloza up close. I loved it; the descent to León was super cool!

If you are not in good physical shape or your knees do not allow you to climb slopes, it is not recommended. To get there, the route is marked by road and is shaded, although the environment is very very beautiful
