If possible, mount a light development to climb without overloading it, it is quite a hard climb. Bring water and avoid the hottest hours in summer, because in the upper part there are no shadows

Hiking

The top of Picón del Buitre at 1956 meters above sea level was chosen as the ideal site to build the Astronomical Observatory. Its remote location, altitude, and low light pollution from cities is all that is needed to be able to observe the stars at night. During the day it is a very privileged place with amazing views on all sides, chosen by many hikers and cyclists to challenge the demanding climb.
