Walk location: The ridge on the eastern side of the Caldas valley overlooking Tornada.
The Walk: The walk follows the ridge on grassy tracks with fine views, looking down into the Caldas valley; then we turn inland to walk on the east side of the ridge with views towards Barrantes. We walk along the road through the village then retrace our steps along the same ridge as at the start.
This is a hilly walk with some steep descents – particularly at the start – and ascents so bring your walking poles; some of the paths will be overgrown.
Timing: The walk is about 5 km and is expected to take about 1.5 hrs, plus extra for coffee.
Car Meeting Point: We meet at 10:00 am at the Supermercado Lavrador parking lot. Park in the unpaved (North) end of the lot to leaving the spaces close to the entrance for paying customers. From here we need to car share for the 5 minute drive to the start because of limited space at the start point.
Long/Lat: 39.466259, -9.115872
