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 1156 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
- After heavy rain, take care on the steepest sections and below cliffs: there may be damage to the trail.
- All year round.
- A visit to the lava fields is an attractive outing. If only wishing to explore the lava flow a little on foot, the steep ascent from San Nicolás can be avoided by using various paths from the Network.
