- MAIN DIFFICULTIES:
Although in appearance, on the map, the route looks simple, it actually involves surmounting a large height difference and implies considerable physical exertion, with its more than 1,000m height difference and 5 hour duration. Otherwise, the path is simple and straightforward. Caution is required on the road section in the vicinity of Roque del Faro.
- NATURE RESERVES WITHIN THE TRAIL:
Monumento Natural de La Costa de Hiscaguán
- RECOMMENDED TIME OF THE YEAR:
All year round.
- GETTING TO THE TRAIL:
The route is circular.
- SPECIFIC ADVICE:
Habitual precautions common to hiking in general are listed below. At the risk of sounding obvious, here are some of the most important:
- Check weather forecasts before setting off to hike.
- Don´t go alone
- Tell someone your intended destination and expected time of arrival
- Carry a small rucksack with warm clothing, waterproofs, food and plenty of water.
- Don´t forget such simple items as: sun hat, protective cream and sun glasses
- Carry a mobile phone with fully-charged battery, a map and, if possible, a compass. They will probably never be used but, when required, are of vital importance.
- Wear suitable gear, especially footwear: trekking boots or similar are essential, trainers or pumps are to be avoided.
