From there you'll need another hour to reach the summit. Back and forth will take about three hours. The more so, because the foot path lies on the leeward side of the hill. If you keep your eyes well open, you may be lucky and see an iguana somewhere along the trail. It must be said however that one must have an eye for them, because iguanas are excellently camouflaged.

Adult iguanas are widely hunted by Antilleans because the meat is considered a delicacy. It is also a cheap source of meat as they are rather easy to catch using a slingshot or air-rifle. Like all lizards, iguanas processes two penes which feeds the belief that potency is enhanced by eating the meat. This harmless herbivore may grow to over 2m in length including tail, though specimens of over 1m are rarely seen anymore. While taking your breath here, look around and you will see a mata oiska and a specimen of Caphalocerues langginosus with its yellowish tops.
