It's a cliff in the shape of a point that extends into the depths of the sea, forming a bay. Towards the end of the point, there are a couple of fallen rocks, which gave it the name Punta Roca Partida (Split Rock Point). This unique rock formation was formed by the collision of lava with the sea.

In Roca Partida, there's a cave called Cueva del Pirata Lorencillo (Lorencillo's Pirate Cave), whose original name was Laurens de Graaf, a Dutch privateer who attacked ships passing through this area. It is said that it was in this cave where he hid his treasure. Some locals can show you some coins or various items they have found in the cave.

Along the way, you'll encounter abundant vegetation in various shades of green, and upon reaching the shore, you'll feel a refreshing breeze and enjoy a spectacular view of the crashing sea against the rocks. una vista espectacular en donde podrás ver como el mar se estrella con las rocas.
