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 1005 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
- No serious difficulties.
- After heavy rain, take care on the steepest sections and below cliffs: there may be damage to the trail.
- Private vehicle or taxi.
- All year round.
- This path is a variant of the previous one providing a slightly different descent through less urban areas. For those wishing to walk from summit to coast, the most logical starting point is Refugio de El Pilar; alternatively, the two paths can be combined with the GR 130 to create a circuit starting and finishing in Mazo.
- Protected area: Parque Natural de Cumbre Vieja
