Start at the Creek at the back of the Condos Road. Climb towards College Rocks. Go through the meadows at about 9200 feet and then follow the ridge line to the summit. Retrace your steps back.
This route circles the Tortuguero Lagoon to the Hacienda La Esperanza, returning via a coastal route. It starts next to the Tortuguero Athletic area in the nature reserve following the trails of the Tortuguero Lagoon, the only natural freshwater reservoir on the island. The trails range from dirt soil to fine white sugar sand, and paths littered with outcropping limestone rocks. Along the path you will pass the Manatial De Guayaney, a cold natural spring with crystal clear subterranean water surrounded by boulderous limestones and veritable trees.
