Beautiful setting with many well bolted sport routes.
Description
Known as "El Bosque Mágico" (The Magical Forest), this area is beautiful. The base of the cliff is well shaded, making it comfortable to climb even on the hottest summer days. The rock is basalt and the routes tend to be more technical than physical. The routes are all bolted to modern standards and there are a range of difficulties, ranging from 5.6 to 5.13s and up. The area can get quite busy on the weekends and afternoons but will be quieter during the week and mornings.
