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 615 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
- There are no notable difficulties. Most of the trip thinks up for ways asphalting or, at least, it crosses several times different highways. Attention, therefore, to the vehicles. The best day to cover this stretch is a Sunday morning, when there are few cars in the highways.
- After heavy rain, take care on the steepest sections and below cliffs: there may be damage to the trail.
- Regular bus service.
- All year round.
