breathtaking, dizzying, fantastic. Pure nature. Not a soul on the whole tour. Sure-footedness and a head for heights as well as at least 1 hiking stick are absolutely necessary!

This was the first tour of our La Palma holiday. It was supposed to be an easy one. However, it ended up being a steep uphill climb over some rocky paths covered in roots. However, we were rewarded with a variety of plants, some of them exotic, that grow wherever there is a patch of earth. At the turning point in the tour, there is the option of doing the circular route through a tunnel, which also contains the channel that carries water from the summit into the valley. This tunnel is visibly blocked off with four gates, distributed along the entire route. However, you can go past it from the side, which is what a few hikers did, i.e. keep your head down. It is not completely dark, as the tunnel is repeatedly ventilated through holes in the rock.

Did this tour today. Some pretty narrow paths along steep cliffs. Not for the faint hearted! Be sure to have sufficient hiking experience and make sure you have hiking poles. Necessary! Else too dangerous / slip falls. Piece of advice: bring a flashlight for the water tunnels.
