Trail description

This trail follows the old Royal Pathway of Chasna, much of which journeys along the path that crosses the valley below El Teide, known as Las Siete Cañadas. Before zig-zagging down towards La Degollada de Guajara, you will come to a turning off the GR 131.1 that leads to the Las Cañadas del Teide Parador Hotel. If you stay on the GR 131 path, however, you will reach La Degollada de Guajara.
