Go along the track which continues under imposing fig trees then take to the right (3) the track which goes down to the point Ténos. This is a great show! The waves crash down to the coast in a large foam broth. Walk back to the crossing and go to the right. You will arrive at the point of view on Sugar Loaf (4). Enjoy the panorama and return to the starting point via the central aisle.
