From SV Pablo we got a pretty good description to find a cave overlooking a large valley and ocean, with some possibly old hand prints, from a civilization long gone.
Because of the day's heat, we started early, landed the dinghy on a beach, carried the dinghy above the highest tide-line. From there one first has to hike over a small hill, descend the other side, pass a deteriorating cemetery, find an oasis, cross that oasis, find a way to the beach, walk that beach 1.5 miles to the other side, then there will be three sticks in the sand to identify a road accessing said beach, follow that road to a stone pyramid and climb up the hill to a cave visible when closer. (That was about the description we got). And we found it.

After scrambling up the hill to the cave, we found the hand prints, but more importantly, we enjoyed the view, and felt good about a bit of exercise.
