The milestones of the trail go up the slope of the sierra to the great plain of Loma de las Culebrillas, at an altitude of 2,220 meters. In some sections there are small rocky channels and steep ramps but there are always stone milestones marking the path. And in front are the "heads" of Los Hermanitos like stone hamburgers that serve as a reference to indicate the direction. On the way down to Hoya Moros there are small piles of stones scattered on various sides but they all go down to the glacial cirque where the Cuerpo de Hombre river is born. The trail continues through some meadows that are good for running parallel to the larger milestones and finally descends to the head of the Hoya Moros cirque, near the Charcas de Venerofrío, the source of the Cuerpo de Hombre river, below the geological amphitheater created by the towers of Las Agujas and the granite walls of the Talamanca, Los Hermanitos and the Torreón, a magnificent spectacle of the alpine power of the Sierra de Béjar. The valley is a swarm of granite boulders of all shapes, sizes and shapes that have become one of the national bouldering meccas. The trail passes to the left of the natural bivouacs towards the large channel carved between the Torreón block and the Los Hermanitos massif, the logical exit from the glacial cirque to the south. The milestones go up to the left of a stream to another small niche carved by the ice of the glaciers that gave shape and value to the mountain landscape. The area is a small labyrinth of granite blocks and boulders, a beautiful rock garden before climbing the ridge to start the journey through the peaks.
