Coming from Chio on the TF38 towards El Teide National Park, the path starts just after the "Chinyero" road sign. Coming from the other direction, the path starts about 200 m after the large road sign "Los Polleos 1400 m". Park at the side of the road, which often involves a "small walk" that can be off-putting, or at the car park located about 500 m before, on the Chio side.
(S/E) Follow the wide path that gradually moves away from the road. Turn left at the crossroads and shortly afterwards you will come across the white and yellow marked trail.
(1) Continue straight ahead to quickly reach a new crossroads with a tree in the middle.
(2) Turn right and follow the path that begins the Chineyro loop.
(3) Ignore the path that branches off to the right and continue left to reach an intersection with the signpost "TF43- circular Chinyero".
(4) Follow this path marked in white and yellow, starting on the left. Go straight ahead at the next crossroads and continue around the volcano. Pass at the foot of the Montaña de las Flores and reach a fork in the road.
(5) Follow the marked path to the left and keep left for about 100 metres.
(6) At the junction with a wider path, go straight ahead and continue to the next fork.
(7) Follow the marked path that branches off to the left.
(8) At the junction, go straight ahead, leaving the marked path and taking the unmarked one; the ground is better quality. Further on, you will find the markings again.
(9) Turn right to follow it. Join the correct path taken on the way there.
(1) Follow it to the right, turn right again at the next junction and return to the car park along the TF38 (S/E).
