Description
A cave and various neighboring walls accessed by parking at the kiosks at Paseo Lineal Corretjer. The cave stays mostly dry on rainy days, as does much of the Food Truck Wall. The cave is mostly shady all day. The Curiosity Wall and the Food Truck Wall are best from May to September due to the sun angle; however, some of the routes on the sides are shaded either in the morning or in the afternoon. The base of each wall is forested and always has shade.

Walk through the gap between the food truck and the kiosk next to it. Be courteous, as there are people working in there. Turn left and a few steps later you'll be next to the seating area that's behind the kiosks.
Walk forward to be in line with the seating area and you'll see a set of steps descending the hillside. Take it slow and analyze your steps carefully; don't trip on vines. This steep tricky section is very short. It leads to the start of a forested flat section, equally short. Head to the right towards the stones and you'll pick up the trail. After tracing along the top edge of the Curiosity Wall, the trail continues onward and down the west side of the rock.
The trail splits here, and if you continue down the side of the rock it will very quickly place you at the bottom of the Curiosity Wall. If you take the other trail, you'll soon find yourself at the base of the Food Truck Wall. Continuing further on the trail leads to the cave sector.
⚠️ The initial drop in is steep and tricky! Take it one step at a time! ⚠️
⚠️ Pay attention when you're walking along the edge of the wall! ⚠️
⚠️ The section that takes you to the bottom is quite tricky too. ⚠️
Here are two maps of the trail:

Still unsure? If the leftmost kiosk is open, the gentleman working in there will be happy to point you to the start of the trail if you say hi and ask.
