Passing on the right side of the small bridge, we had to cross to the right and continue on the small bridge.
On the horizontal plane in southwest direction (towards the city), begins the hard dirt road, well defined and luxurious grass begins to turn to the northeast (mountain) to ascend moderately until you find some natural steps that lead to the highest point. to descend to the valley of Quintero (1070 m above sea level) a very good place by the waterfall that takes the air. Crossing the river you see the path by a new natural process (going down this time, as there are two paths, take the one on the right) to go to face and climb moderately zigzagging until you reach a high enough point that becomes a. kind of natural view over the city and the fork to the water (1187 meters above sea level).

This type of savanna reaches 1600 meters above sea level where the small pastures are mostly grasslands, which include grasses and reeds. and wood, mainly Capín Melao and Gamelote. Also on this side of the mountain we have clouds from 900 meters above sea level to 2500 meters above sea level with a lot of water and a type of grass in this type of forest on the mountainside. of the camp.
