It's not as easy as anyone would have you believe. Google maps will take you all around the island until you do find it. The walk up the mountain starts brisk and escalates to grueling as you traverse a well-beaten path riddled with unavoidable goat and cow poop. The first third of the hike is fair and easy to manage and the views are arguably as gorgeous as the top and the path begins to narrow around you. The second third is extremely intimidating. As a 6'3 230lb man I can say that I was afraid at moments as the grade is so steep you feel yourself pushing quickly to maintain momentum, or simply slowing to a crawl as you embrace the inevitable in your quest to avoid the poop. This section is very very narrow with steep drop and nothing but loose gravel to club. Little to no support and nothing on either side of you to break your fall. The third third of the hike is less arduous than the second. You have reached what you (think) to be the peak and you realize there is another....then another...and another after that. Reminding you that the mountains is so high, that you can't even see the top from the side. The second third of this hike was all poop and loose gravel causing you to slide. This final third is all slippery mud because you're now 900+ meters in the air and tropical could grace the mountainside DAILY. So where dry gravel and a steep grade was your enemy before, you're now battling muddy straight-aways that drop off a cliff on either side as you do your best not to fall.. The hike for a strong or experienced hiker could take 25 minutes if you chose to ignore the gorgeous views along the way that at times rival the peak. An average moderately active person could manage the hike in closer to 45 minutes as it's not especially strenuous, just a bit dangerous with considerable hazard. Don't recommend for children under 12 or adults without good balance and coordination. Consider getting here early to take advantage of the of limited parking and avoid the daily rainshowers. Bring sunglasses and great shoes with good grip. Bring water and make sure not to litter. Wear comfortable loose fitting clothing that you don't mind getting muddy/dusty. And bring your best camera. The views are stunning and 100% worth it. 100% recommend.
