Before you go
- WARNING: This trail has a section closed (between Tamanca and Casa de Camineros del Charco) due to the construction of the LP-2 highway. The alternative to save this section is the use of public transport ( Line 201 Los Llanos – Fuencaliente ). Don’t walk on the road.
- There are some road crossings that require you to pay attention. However, the greatest difficulty, especially if you follow the path in the opposite direction to that described in this topoguide, is found in the very steep slope that you have to overcome at Las Laderas de Amagar (almost 600 metres). The route is easy to do as a whole, always keeping in mind that you have to overcome a great slope. It is a deceptive itinerary on the map, especially if you follow it in the direction Los Llanos de Aridane-Tijarafe. In this case, it is advisable to be well supplied with water and be patient to overcome the Vueltas de Amagar.
- After heavy rain, take care on the steepest sections and below cliffs: there may be damage to the trail.
- There is a bus service in both directions.
- All year round.
- Protected area: Paisaje Protegido de Tamanca. Parque Natural de Cumbre Vieja
