The last 8 km approach on the gravel road are a real challenge. However, the special landscape and the unique pumice stone formations at the destination make up for it.

Today I ran the tour again, this time with my hiking friends and on a slightly different route. We chose the descent directly below the tufa rock formations.

Actually, I was of the opinion that the tour from December 29th, 2021, Baracán in the Teno Mountains, couldn't be topped. But I was wrong about that. Today's tour was even more spectacular than Baracán. And she was harder. In parts it reminded me of our tour in Bryce Canon National Park (Utah USA). You could say Paisaje Lunr is …
