The path follows the main path uphill, leaving to the left the detour that approaches the Cinco Cestos climbing area. In some places doubts may arise but the milestones always indicate the best slopes between the stones, up to a small hill that marks the end of the ascent and a few meters later the unmistakable silhouette of El Elefantito appears on the left cliff. The stone animal is on a clear and showy hill, but it is not discovered until the end, when you can almost touch its trunk. The place has a special atmosphere, as if it were the limit of something. The route continues in the same direction without going up or down, it goes through some hills along a clear path and descends to the right of La Pirámide, in this case the silhouette of the cliff is not evident, it will be from the point of view.

It is essential to carry enough water, all ascent.

La Pedriza in the Sierra de Guadarrama is the place where an interesting excursion is always guaranteed; it is rare to take a hike or mountain tour through this fascinating world of granite and end up disappointed. The stone wonder that we have visited on this occasion is El Elefantito, a cliff shaped like an elephant, with its trunk stuck into the stone floor.
