Playa del Buqiie J^arado ("the beach of the stranded ship") is a wide tongue 

 formed by the talus deposits; probably one or several landslides have occurred 

 here, where the barranca is of formidable height and steepness (fig. 78). A stream 

 coming from the gullies above has cut a winding bed (fig. 82). 



Ensenada Tolthi is a shallow open cove W of Cabo Norte. When it is im- 

 possible to approach the east coast boats anchor here, where landing, as a rule, 

 meets with little difficulty. Consequently, numerous weeds mix with the native 

 herbs and grasses covering the slopes at the foot of the barranca. Unfortunately 

 Tolten is quite unfit as a base camp, as the highland cannot be reached, nor 

 is there a passage along the shore to O. Sanchez.

The Piano de la Mona ("she-monkey's plain"), a name of unknown origin 

 (there are no monkeys on Juan Fernandez), and the rim of the coast escarpment 

 can be reached from several valleys. The usual route takes us up a zigzag trail 

 from Casas, across a dry gully and through the large, branched and well for- 

 ested O. del Mojw (another queer name) to the abandoned convict settlement 

 Las Chozas, situated among the remnants of luma forest 550 — 650 m above sea
