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 1846 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
- Being very isolated and remote from villages, the route is compromising to a certain extent. The path is somewhat unclear and easily lost in the east, so attention to marking is required. After losing the way, retrace steps until the path is picked up again and then continue, concentrating on the markings. There is a bus service from Jedey to Tigalate and vice-versa. From Charco Verde a private vehicle or taxi is required.
- After heavy rain, take care on the steepest sections and below cliffs: there may be damage to the trail.

- All year round.
- The route is of sufficient entity in itself. Nevertheless, connections to the island´s GR paths produce interesting combinations: 1. From Tigalate or Jedey up to Llano de las Brujas and from there via the GR 131 to Fuencaliente (5h 45min from Tigalate, 7h 15min from Jedey) 2. Same as the previous route, but returning to the start point via the GR 130 (10h 30min from Jedey, 8h 15min from Tigalate) 3. A circuit combining the GR 130 and PR LP 15 paths, starting from Tigalate, Jedey or Fuencaliente, 11h 30min, feasible in two days at an easy pace.
