Description
This trail is the ideal opportunity to cross the beautiful Teno Rural Park from east to west.
The route starts in San José de Los Llanos (Municipality of El Tanque) with a gentle ascent to Los Partidos de Franquis, after which you descend to the famous ponds at Charcas de Erjos.
From this point you will skirt the southern side of Pico de Cruz de Gala as you enter monteverde forest, and then descend to Las Casas de la Cumbre.
After 2 km you will arrive at Pico de Martín Báez and then continue on to Cumbre del Carrizal. Then you will come to the Baracán viewpoint, but before reaching it you must cross the TF-436 road with great caution.
On leaving the Baracán viewpoint, the path heads north-west and runs around Pico Baracán. You will then cross the highest part of the massif heading north along a track through the monteverde forest and shortly afterwards you will enter Finca de Las Siete.
From here continue towards Los Bailaderos heading west towards Montaña de El Vallado. After skirting this peak, you will reach Las Cuevas. From this natural viewpoint the descent to Punta de Teno begins. The trail ends next to the tomato-packing warehouses, on the edge of the road that leads to the lighthouse.
