Itinerary description

Exceptional views from cliffs overlooking Los Gigantes, La Gomera and La Palma. Tour starts in Tamaimo. Crossing the mountain via 1st tunnel and returning through 3rd one. Trail not always easy to find. It is dangerous in exposed places on the cliffs. Narrow path, partial break-offs, danger of falling. Absolute freedom from vertigo and surefootedness necessary.
