Trail description

This trail is almost completely flat. Starting from the lower end of Roques de García Trail 3, it journeys past the foot of Roque de La Catedral, ventures out into the vast flatland of Llano de Ucanca and ends at the Ucanca Lookout Point, on the TF 21 road. Along the way you will see the towering slopes of Cumbres de Ucanca, as well as El Teide and Pico Viejo – an incomparable sight.
