The path alternates between tarmac highways and steeper passages with dirt, stone or wooden steps. Nothing too complicated but we stupidly followed the advice of a hiker for a shortcut that was not one... quite the contrary. In short, trust Komot. Some landscapes to see including the viewpoint and the romantic passage and the forest of course.

Hiking

The dense laurel forest in the northeast of La Palma will transport you to another world. Giant trees, lush mosses, and a jungle-like panorama dominate the scene. The lush laurel forest is one of the most beautiful scenic highlights in the area.
