Well-maintained trail (thanks!!), fun, flowy, with some small jumps that can be avoided. No extreme gradients and no exposed sections. However, it requires good riding skills and control.

very nice route...a couple of dirt sections due to recent rains, but passable with caution.

I did it last week after 6 or 7 years: still beautiful, but erosion has made the trail narrow, resulting in significant chasms. A 4 or 5-meter section can only be accessed by getting off your bike because it's very dangerous and slippery. However, its charm remains intact.
