Along the way, you will see thousands of holes, built by ant colonies. Adjacent to one another, they look like villages.

It is said that there is a big block of ice on the mountain that stays intact all year, with a waterfall coming out from it. The best place to view this waterfall is on a rock stretched out over a cliff. The water falls into a deep pool, generating a pleasant, stirring roar.
