An ideal route for the whole family, where grandchildren can share with grandparents, with plenty of samba, little to no elevation gain, and beautiful scenery.

You're absolutely right. I did the route about five months ago, and it's nothing like how it was. It's better than better…

With the rains this March, the level recovered a little, thank goodness... but this whole area is still in dire need of water.
