    Teilweise verläuft der unbefestigte Pfad sehr nah an den Steilklippen, Schwindelfreiheit empfohlen, festes Schuhwerk Pflicht. An sich schöne kleine Tour, allerdings bleibt man immer in der Nähe des GC-2 was das Naturgefühl etwas einschränkt.

    Sehr schöne Ecke, um durch die Klippen zu wandern. Daneben auch ein Weg, auf den man ausweichen kann, wenn es unten zu abenteuerlich wird. Tolle große dunkelviolette Krebse führen Schattengefechte aus und drohen mit flammroten Zangen. In den Tümpeln mit sehr klarem Wasser 10 -20 cm großen sehr flexible Fische. Starke Brandung. kleines Dörfchen ist der Ausgangspunkt. Schnell von Las Palmas zu erreciehn

    We arrived to the trailhead at El Puertillo by bus (there are several lines from Las Palmas), continued on foot only one way and then took a bus from Cruce de Arucas back to the city. The walk took us about 1:45. The views are great, but the path is not always easy to find. You cannot follow the white cones all the way, because the landslides are changing the landscape all the time. Also be prepared for some trickier parts (eg. walking along an edge of a cliff or crawling through reed).
