Geocache Description:


A hike through the highest part of La Palma on the edges of but just outside of the Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente with great views inside the Caldera and over La Palma !

This hike can also be started at Roque de las Muchachos where the GR 131 (red/white) starts towards Somada Alta, but we start at a point located further on where the GR crosses the road.

Following the path you will soon pass by .

Continu up and down and before reaching the cachelocation this will be your route: .

Once you reached and found the cache enjoy the marvellous views and either return the same way or continue towards our next cache on top of Roque Palmero!


Take about 1.5 hours time for this route.


BTW: This is a high mountaineous area where the sun can be burning much stronger than down on the beaches. Be sure to use a good sunprotection. Wear good hikingboots en carry plenty of drinks . Especially when you also go for Roque Palmera !!

Rother Wanderfuhrer, 2008 , hike nr.61 describes the route as going to Somada Alta.



Enjoy !
