"Alimentando Mosquitos" means, "feeding mosquitos," a warning of what can happen to you on this sunny, the south facing Ancón Wall. It is the first route done on the Ancón Wall. To reach the wall, head north out of town and take the fork toward the Valle de Ancón. Near the crest of the road, there are several Yunta trails heading to the north. All head down to the valley between the road and the Ancón Wall. Head west (left) to a small cultivated field at the base of the wall. There is a campisnos camp under the wall. From there, head east (right), cross the creek, over a fence, and follow the base of the wall, first, passing under a straight edged overhang and then past two alcoves. (Check out another "Wall of Wasps" far above.)
