Hiking

This is the first volcanic cone you encounter on the route. Its highest part is 325 meters above sea level and its caldera measures 300 meters in diameter. Its shape is somewhat oval and has an opening, which facilitates access to the bottom of the crater. For this reason, agriculture and livestock farming was practiced inside until the mid-20th century, since the craters accumulate more water and result in more fertile land than the outside.
