Beautiful trail to do on foot, some small exposed and collapsed sections but passable.

Definitely go back to the coast, the road is very difficult to walk on and there is no other alternative!

It would have been good for us to plan a little more time as the path is quite uneven. He reminds me a bit of Indian Jones. If you are looking for a little more secluded and sun-protected paths, this is the place for you.
