This tour is located on the northern edge of the volcanic caldera "Caldera de Tejeda" (caldera means cooking pot, i.e. crater). Its a varied route along the dividing line between the north and south of the Gran Canaria. Half the tour is uphill, the second half downhill, and a large part of the route runs along forest tracks with gentle slopes.

Enjoyed the trail but misunderstood your backtracking by the fountain and ended up on the wrong side of the ravine! A good distance and would recommend.
