The path is clear at first, moving among dense vegetation and after about 1 hour for the first time low to the estuary itself, following the edge of the water turns to find the trail that gains altitude quickly while continuing to go down the drawer. After about 6 or 8 hours of walking you can reach the bottom of the drawer, closed by a circle of cliffs by which some paths cross at the top.
