Description
The trail sets off from the Cruz del Carmen Visitor Centre and follows a path next to the restaurant on the other side of the road.
Further on, take the signposted turning on the right that leads downwards, crossing first Pista de las Hiedras and then Pista del Lomo Los Dragos.
The trail then follows the bed of the ravine and ascends, via Batán de Abajo, to the village of Bejía, where you can see stairways, troughs and wash houses carved into the rock.
From here, the path heads towards and then climbs the El Morro volcano.
Once at the top, it continues down the ravine into the neighbourhood of El Homicián and from there into Punta del Hidalgo.
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.
