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 1780 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
- (Trained hikers).
- After heavy rain, take care on the steepest sections and below cliffs: there may be damage to the trail.
- A ny time of year except winter. Avoid rainy days.
- If the Lomo del Lance path (PR LP 2) is complicated and difficult, this one is even more so. Only recommended for very experienced walkers, suitably trained and not going alone. It is the most difficult route of the whole network of footpaths. The starting point is to the south of that of the PR LP 2, and details of how to get there will be found in the description of that path.
