What to take on this route
Plenty of water, food, warm clothes, a rain jacket, a hat and sun cream, hiking boots and a charged phone. Check the weather and tell someone your route. The route climbs to 551 m and it gets chilly up there: take a sweatshirt too. And if you want to wear La Palma, our island T-shirts.

Before you go
- Nevertheless, a stop can be made at any of the small settlements found along the way.
- After heavy rain, take care on the steepest sections and below cliffs: there may be damage to the trail.
- There is a bus service, but the frequency and times make it of little use to hikers. A previously-booked taxi is the best option.
- All year round, but avoid rainy days and bad weather in winter.
- Protected area: Reserva Natural Especial de Guelguén
