Description

Puig Campana is the second highest mountain in the province of Alicante in Spain. The route starts at "Font del Moli" and if you forgot water, don't worry! You can fill your bottle at the fountain with spring water before you go up (take at least a liter and a half, you will need it). You follow the PR-cv 289 path until "Coll del Pouet" and then you start the most technical part of the route and follow the sign "Puig Campana 1408m". It is quite dangerous and markings on rocks are very faded so you have to pay attention.

Ol Doinyo Lengai is known as the “Mountain of God” by the native Maasai living around the mountain. It is an active volcano with a perfectly symmetric cone. When you climb over the rim of the crater, you can see and hear the lava bubbling and spewing inside. The volcano has a uniquely cold type of lava, and a sign at the top claims that the lava is the coolest in the world.
