Trail description
The trail begins in La Cañada de los Guancheros, also known as Cañada de Los Rastrojos, at the foot of El Cabezón. It then follows a path up to Degollada del Cedro between the rocky walls of La Caldera de Las Cañadas known as El Cabezón and La Fortaleza. As the path fades into a forest track, it journeys down the Tigaiga mountainside to the edge of Teide National Park. Along the way, hikers will be rewarded with panoramic views of the Tigaiga slopes, La Fortaleza and the Valley of La Orotava, as well as peering into the inner side of La Caldera and, of course, the imposing Teide.
