Description Suggest change

This area is sunk a bit lower than the surrounding trail. It tends to stay wet longer than other areas and generally is pretty humid. However, the routes are a bit easier and it makes a good warm-up area.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the main trail for a while, and look for a break in the trees on the right that leads to a descending wooden staircase.

To get your bearings and identify the routes in this sector, as you descend the wooden staircase, in front of you will be a rock face containing the leftmost three routes of the sector, Guerra, Paz, and Amor. The top of it looks like this: https://www.mountainproject.com/photo/115359268
