BC-1.7 La Orilla del Monte

BC-1.7

Extension of route BC1 that takes the Luciano or Los Caballos trail in parallel to the Benijos trail above La Orotava Valley.

Description

This route through the lower part of La Orotava will take you back in time to our original monteverde landscapes.

After years of intensive agricultural use by local residents, the Island Council decided to regulate the monteverde forest in this area to allow for its recovery and the sustainable use of the island’s natural resources. 

As a result, you can now enjoy this restored natural environment today. Dense woodland intermingles with cool natural canopies and sections that open out to impressive views of the slopes of La Resbala.

IBP Index: 2.

Tips

  • Always stay on the marked trail and do not enter private property, hunting grounds, water galleries, wells or caves.  
  • Be careful when walking along roads used by motor vehicles and hiking trails, and when crossing 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. 
  • Consult our good practice guide and, if necessary, contact emergency services by calling 112.
