Our beginning marks a very steep climb, until we see one of several lagoons there that are part of this volcanic complex, the Éguas lagoon. Along our route, we can see several endemic plants, see some springs, we can see several times the south coast of the island, as well as the north coast of the island of San Miguel.
Our point of greatest tourist and landscape interest is found in the Empadadas lagoon, whose ponds seem to be twins, due to their size, shape, tonality of waters and also because of their flanked and protected by Cryptomies,
When we leave the Empadadas lagoon and next to the lagoon of the Coal, we can see an old aquaduct, already in ruins, that in time, served to carry water to the populations.
