Description

This is a famous pilgrimage route in the city of Chimbote, widely known for Holy Week processions.

The first section is paved for almost 5 km, climbing toward the sanctuary church. Just before reaching the church, a flight of stairs marks the start of the unpaved 1 km mountain trail leading to the summit cross.

Starting near sea level, the ascent is continuous with no elevation loss, making it a popular training hill for local runners and cyclists (who use the paved section).

Description

The Pacific Marine Circle Trail Route is located in the lower Vancouver Island. It starts from Sooke BC, runs up to Jordan River and then jumps into the Juan de Fuca trail, after which it crosses the lower island to Cowichan Lake and traverses down all the way to Langford, and then finishes the loop running through the Sooke Hills. It is a combination of paved road, paved trails, and raw bushy, west coasty trails. Its a one in a lifetime challenge for any ultrarunner or hiker who want to experience the BC west coast at its finest.
