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 1001 m and it gets chilly up there: take a sweatshirt too. And if you want to wear La Palma, our island T-shirts.
