At this point a jeep service has recently been cleared (by slash+burn) of forest. I climbed E to the ridge below the really peak (Cerro Azul) to a height of 1900 m (I'm not positive of the peak because the topography and potential landmarks didn't easily fit the topo sheet. The upper parts of the SE side of the ridge has long been cleared of forest and is presently used for cattle grazing. From the ridge at this point there is a path leading leading W thus joining the jeep road at ~1800 m. This path passes through virgin forest with abundant fallen moss-covered logs along the path and deeper in the woods.
