    Hiking

    A place worth visiting, little frequented by tourists thanks to its distance from the car park.
    It goes steeply up into the dark dungeon, the highest point of which is a memorial for a long-dead chief of the local indigenous people.
    The stillness of the place is broken by the wing movement of the hummingbirds nesting in cracks here.
