Mina Tuna is a blast of a trail dropping in from the top of Volcan Casitagua, through a wide variety of dirt and sand, steeps, natural berms and rock gardens. At top there are many Tunas, a fruit that grows on cactus, delicious and good for health Beware, they are filled with spines! The trail ends in the Middle of the World monument!

      		 Lots of motorcycle traffic and tracks. The middle climb isn't riddable. Stick to the main lines to avoid the multiple ditches.
