The tourists who want to visit this remarkable sight can climb up the rocky summit and appreciate the beautiful panorama of the surroundings. On one of the monolith slopes was the zigzag wooden staircase, which contains 644 steps. The ascent to it is really breathtaking - you should rather not look down. The narrow creaking steps, the low railing and the giant height - this place is as found for extreme hikers.
At the top of the rock, a pleasant surprise awaits the brave travelers - a nice and interesting restaurant where you can drink a cup of excellent Colombian coffee or the tequila with salt that will be nerve-soothing after such a complicated ascent.

Today one can conquer the inaccessible rock in just a few minutes.
