Trail description
This branch of the PR-TF 70 starts in an area known as Llano del Negro or Tumba del Negro. You will notice that the track starts close by to your left, but the path cuts straight across it several times. At certain points on the way, you will be greeted by stunning panoramic views of the mountains of Isora, and even as far as the islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. As you continue your descent along the trail, the pine forest slowly begins to clear and gives way to bush vegetation such as brooms, laburnums and the like. Once you get to the track, you will reach a two-way crossing. Turn right; turning left would take you along the same track towards Adeje. Walk on down the track until you come to the start of another trail on the right. Turn onto that trail and carry on down. As you approach the hamlet of Las Fuentes, you will reach the house of Los Poleos, a traditional house with a small chicken pen and a farmyard for goats and other animals. From this point, the path takes on the dimensions of an old bridle path, meaning it is wider with higher walls along the sides. The path then forks into two paths that lead to the hamlet of Las Fuentes. This cluster of houses is a mythical hamlet that was completely uninhabited in the 1970s, but has now recovered some of its agricultural activity.
