Finally they reached the site that, according to the coordinates obtained, marked the location of La Puerta. Aulric, who with his scooter was guiding the caravan of three vehicles, raised an arm indicating that they should stop there.

After parking at the side of the road all the travelers got out and walked towards the massif of rocks that rose rapidly above the level of the road. The young Argentine observed the stone wall and finally pointed to a kind of rather steep path that opened up between the boulders. With several nimble steps he reached a spot at the foot of the wall and said.

“The path to La Puerta begins here. From this point on it is all climbing. "

They all dropped their luggage on the ground and followed Aulric to climb the rock, helping themselves with their hands in places but generally walking on the stones. Once again the young man showed a point above his head but still lower than the summit and added. "There! That must be “La Puerta” (The Door). "
