Itinerary description
This is a fantastic ride we made with our 4x4. It start on a nice asphalt road from Santa Cruz, it then turns into a dirt road but rest assured, it is well maintained because of the antennas on the mountain. You won't have any problem to go to the top of Vista AlMar. On the other side of the mountain though, it is another story, the first two kilometres are a bit scary but feasible. You definitively need a 4x4 and please, don't be stupid by not trying this road during the rainy season. This track ends at beautiful playa Frijolar but the road continue after that of course.

PlayaFrijolar
This is the blackiest beach I ever saw; it is very very hot too. I think its name is a derivative from HOT (Frio). The beach is deserted and beautiful.
