Departure from Buenavista del Norte (Province de Las Palmas)
A magnificent circular route within the Teno Rural Park, passing through the village of Teno Alto and continuing to the foot of the Baracán peak. The path crosses a forest of heather and laurel, unique to the Canary Islands due to its altitude and humidity. Before the junction with the road, a viewpoint offers a glimpse of the majestic Mount Teide. In Teno Alto, follow the signposts for La Mesita and Cumbre de Baracán. A beautiful descent along a rocky and very exposed path, with steep slopes on either side. I recommend doing this route in good weather. Completed in 3 hours 40 minutes.
