the fee. Going in both directions is a large path/road that you can hike for hours.
The area has stunning scenery and is extremely quiet. You need to tell your host
you need to be picked up by a truck to return the next day. Most people stay a
night and hike after the morning of their travels and the morning before they
leave. If you are seeking more solitude or have a great travel partner, you may
want to stay a few nights, but many people may get bored if they stay too long.
DO NOT go to Nabusimake if you don't like to hike or to be in a place cut off
from the world. It's highly recommended for you to consult with Miquel and
Cristina at Provincia Hostel for updated and exact instructions before taking this
trip.
