Description

This trail starts at the foot of Roque de La Catedral, from the PNT 03 trail (Roques de García), and leads into the immense plain of Llano de Ucanca. 

Featuring incomparable views of Mount Teide, Pico Viejo and the rugged Cumbres de Ucanca, the trail takes you over flat terrain to the beautiful Ucanca viewpoint, on the TF-21 road.

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.
