VIEWIOINT (Self-guided)
From the village situated in Cumberland Bay, we’ll address to El Portezuelo

maqui and murtillas (myrtle trees), we’ll arrive to Aguas Buenas where
we can appreciate the exotic autochthonous flora: Pangues or paraguas

During our journey, we can also esteem the diversity of the spot which
