Nice extra short cut. Perfect to add on the Volcanic loop if you stay on the westside.
Riding difficulty depend of the shape of the trail. From super clean, fast, funny to rocky, loos, technical.
But always save and nice through forest to open volcanic areas into the legendary riverbed Barranco de los hombres.
