The path reaches the hill where the old Gargantilla hill track climbs to the left and begins the final stretch of the climb to the top of Cueva Valiente (1,903 m). On the meadow there is a well-kept mountain refuge and natural granite sculptures, it is a summit with unattainable design and views. The negative 600 meters of the descent begin on the path marked with stone markers towards the north slope. The abyss where San Rafael is is overwhelming. The path overcomes a steep slope in a few meters, passes through the detour of the cave that gives its name to the mountain and ends in the meadow of the Peñotillo hill, turning left along a technical path that goes down towards the Gargantilla hill. Before reaching the hill, known for the reconstructed forts from the Civil War, the trail turns to the right and continues the frenetic descent down the Gargantilla stream ravine. On some stones there are points of red paint along paths parallel to the stony main path.
