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 965 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
- Due to the accumulated height difference and overall distance, it might be wise to take two days, with an intermediate stop in Puntagorda. There is an occasional stretch of road where caution is required.
- After heavy rain, take care on the steepest sections and below cliffs: there may be damage to the trail.
- There is a bus service to/from Los Llanos, with stops along the length of the hike.
- All year round.
