Description
The traditional footpath that links Barranco Hondo with Las Lagunetas del Rosario takes you into the Las Lagunetas Protected Natural Area and its beautiful pine forest.
Along the way you can see the marks left by the extraction of pine tar on some of the oldest trees. You can also see some of the native and endemic species of flora and fauna typical of the mountain vegetation found in this part of the island.
In addition to forest bathing, the trail offers magnificent panoramic views of the Güímar Valley, the metropolitan area and the green mountainsides of Anaga Rural Park.
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.
