From the road (km 0 - 1300m) approach the pipe with the white letters. From there, the path is always clear. It’s impossible to get lost. As usually happens with popular trails, there are several small bifurcations that converge to the main trail after a few meters. Hence, there are no decisions to take.
The trail advances towards the southwest among shrubs and cacti, with moderate slopeinclination. The first significant milestone is a plain, reached in the km 1,6 (1635m). Border it along its western flank and restart the ascent in the contiguous slope. You will point briefly to the east, in order to make an ample U-turn.
After another kilometre you will reach (km 2,6 - 1782m) a small ranch. Turn right to cross the door (it’s well signalled) and carry on to the west. A few meters ahead, on weekends, there is a vendor of bottled water. Curious, as a couple of meters beyond that the water course of the Trescientos ravine is crossed, and it’s perfectly drinkable.
After the water course the ascent towards the southeast resumes. This area is more arid, almost devoid of trees and shade. The path ascends without mayor changes sided by bushes and dust. Around km 3,6 it starts to lose slopeinclination. The cliff that gives birth to the viewpoint is already visible to the west. On weekends, a bunch of hikers will be visible resting at the very edge of the cliff.
Having walked an almost flat stretch, the eastern corner of the viewpoint is reached. The end of this route has been defined, in a semi-arbitrary way, as the highest point of the cliff, located at the western side, precisely where the terrain starts to go down (km 4,49 - 2005m)
