Puertito de Guimar
Pleasant hike along the coast...
Good shoes required (mid-cut or high-cut) as the terrain is rather uneven in places and your ankles/knees will be put to the test on the loose stones for much of the route.

Difficult
Departure from La Orotava (Province de Las Palmas)
A superb loop on one of Tenerife's most beautiful peaks. The whole circuit offers an extraordinary view of the caldera and the summit of the Pico del Teide. The difficulty lies in the suspended passage below the summit. It's an aerial passage, but never exposed, so don't attempt it if visibility is poor.
New markings have been added to some of the passages, so the description below will probably have to be adapted to the new markings on the summit section.
