The TF21 connects Vilaflor de Chasna to La Orotava. Park at km 40.7. This is a car park for around ten cars, at the start of the Montana Blanca route – Altavista refuge.
Arrive early to secure a space, as is the case everywhere. See Practical Information.
(S/E) Start the climb with your back to the TF21, on the north side. After about 800 m, you’ll reach a fork in the path.
(1) Leave the return path on your left, follow the S27 signposted path to the right and continue to the marker located about a hundred metres further on. Take the path on the left, still S27: be careful, the marker is small compared to the signposts that precede it. You will reach a junction with directional signs.
(2) Continue straight on for a few dozen metres to take in the view, then return to the junction.
(2) Follow the S6 – Los Tomillos, which climbs gradually towards Montaña Blanca. The final stretch is steeper; you’ll reach a junction of paths.
(3) Ignore the path on the right and go straight on to the next nearby junction.
(4) Turn left onto Sendero 7, which descends towards the car park, passing the junction encountered on the way up.
(1) Continue to the right, in the opposite direction to the way out, to reach the car park (S/E).
