Departure from Yaiza (Province de Las Palmas)
It is best to park in Calle de Francia, but be careful of the yellow no-parking signs.
The circular route can be difficult for people with balance problems, and there can be very strong winds at the summit. Good shoes are necessary.
It is possible to take a detour and walk through the crater, which offers magnificent views of the volcano's ridge.

Departure from Yaiza (Province de Las Palmas)
On the program: peaks, canyons, goats, secret beaches, wells and a quiet beach. If you finish this hike at the end of the day, at sunset, you'll be under a rosy sky that is gradually studded with stars. Apart from its length, the ascent to Hacha Grande is the main difficulty, as the trail is sometimes hard to see.
