A very beautiful route. If you want to get beautiful views, the route is intermediate and pleasant. I recommend it as a must-see in Tenerife.

The route is probably the most beautiful place in Tenerife that we have seen. It is a kind of loop around Roque de Taborno. We went on the left side and returned on the right. The views are breathtaking all the time. The route is not physically demanding and anyone should be able to cope with it up to 2 hours with plenty of breaks for photos 😀 for people who have never had the opportunity to walk on mountain routes with exposure, it will be perfect to try their hand at it, although in some places the abyss under your feet is impressive. The route is also suitable for children, but it must be taken into account that they will not have full freedom of movement in some places. Good trekking shoes are recommended to ensure adequate traction. However, the rocks are quite sharp and you may trip over them rather than slip. It must be taken into account that the town is tiny, access takes quite a long time along a very winding and narrow mountain road, and at the end there are very few parking spaces. This has its advantages in the form of few tourists on the trail.
