Once I saw El Peñón from a distance, I could not get my eyes off this gigantic rock formation defining the surrounding landscape; the rock was begging to be climbed.
I decided to get off before I actually reached the entrance to the climb of El Peñón, and walked up a muddy hill on the northern side. At first, I wanted to find a way around the base of the rock directly towards the entrance, but all the paths I tried seemed to lead nowhere. Instead, I decided to walk around the base of the enormous rock formation counter-clockwise. This had the added advantage that I got a glimpse of the surrounding landscape: houses on the lake, farmers working their land, unpaved country roads leading to the hills in the distance. On my left, I always saw that gigantic block of granite, and as I walked, the shape changed, from an elongated shape towards an oval one. When I reached the road leading up to the entrance of El Peñón, it was elongated again.
