Hiking
The section between the Barco lagoon and the pass that separates the Covacha and Juraco summits is of great technical difficulty due to the unevenness and the type of surface. You have to face more than 500 meters of ascent in a matter of one kilometer and, in addition, the path is not marked. The line runs through a huge granite scree where there is little grip if the rock is wet. The section requires the occasional short climb.
