While the subterranean tombs are certainly worth the climb up, the sweeping views from the mountain ridge as well as the way up itself, are more reasons to visit El Aguacate.
After a night of rain, I was happy to find dry weather outside early next morning, but there were clouds every where, and the top of the mountain ridge of El Aguacate, which we had seen high above us the previous day, was completely covered. Especially the beginning of the climb proved to be very muddy, and we were sloshing our way up, trying not to fall. The higher we got, the better the terrain became, so in the end we could really walk up in a normal way. Below us, we saw more and more clouds floating into the valley and we literally walked into the clouds. I started to seriously doubt whether we could ever enjoy a view from the top. When we arrived at the first tombs of El Aguacate, the mountain ridge was actually still covered in clouds. We went down several subterranean tombs, which were very different from the ones we had seen the day before. Many seemed abandoned, not taken care of very well. All were completely open, there was no light, and we were very happy with the torch, especially when we found out the torch of the guide was not working.
