The climb to the highest road on the island, from where the hike to the top of the volcano can be started. The last 5km are paved, but the tarmac is poor and uneven with potholes here and there. It is possible to cycle just fine, but the ride is not very nice.... read more

De klim naar de hoogste weg van het eiland, vanwaar de hike naar de top van de vulkaan kan worden gestart.
De laatste 5km zijn wel verhard, maar het asfalt is slecht en ongelijk met hier en daar wat gaten. Er kan wel prima worden gefietst, maar het rijdt niet echt fijn.
