Description
One of the most popular trails in the National Park due to its low difficulty and the great beauty of its landscapes, with Mount Teide stealing the show.
The route takes you around the Roques de García, the most striking of which are Cinchado and Torrotito.
The start of the route takes you along the accessible Roques de García trail. Then follow a flat path, leaving the famous rock formations to your left, to the plain known as Llano de Ucanca.
At this point a slight descent begins and you will enjoy beautiful views of La Cascada, a lava flow formed by highly fluid magma. You will then border the landform known as La Catedral and return to the trailhead.
Tips
- Always stay on the marked trail and do not enter private property, hunting grounds, water galleries, wells or caves.
- Pay special attention when crossing or walking along trails used by bicycles, horses or motor vehicles and when walking in ravines with water courses.
- Avoid direct encounters with potentially dangerous animals, such as livestock, beehives, and dogs.
- Proceed with caution and watch for obstacles, loose rocks, uneven terrain or steep slopes to avoid accidents and falls.
- Check out our guide to hiking in Tenerife and, if necessary, contact the emergency services by calling 112.
