Area Information

This was the main access road to Las Cañadas of the inhabitants of the region of Isora, having several ramales (ways) coming from the different locations. 

We are walking at all times between pines, as we are in La Corona Forestal of the south of the island.

Path

Description of the path



The drop of the path

We are on track number 35 of the National Park of the Teide. To reach this path we must first walk along the path number 18 Chavao, either from Las narices del Teide viewpoint (just below the road) or from the Juan Évora Ethnographic Museum. In this case it was departing from the museum to reach this path.

We are on the road Tf-21 of Vilaflor. The area has parking, but which has a schedule to keep in mind.

Path

To reach the area, we can take different means of transports like Guagua (Bus), which from Puerto de la Cruz is line 348. From Costa Adeje, line 342. We take the road TF-21 (for La Orotava or for Vilaflor); TF-24 (for La Laguna); and TF-38 (Boca Tauce-Chío).

The path is signposted, but there is a different time of going and returning for the same one, due to the inclination..There are about 100 meters of unevenness, so to ascent always is more difficult.

Views
The path is signposted on the ground (it is well defined the path). On one side is the ravine (it is  not difficult to fall), and the other side is the wall of El Cedro. 


This path continues to Tagara, but if you only want to walk this one that in short time, the end is when we find the trail sign.
