A cache placed at the top of a volcano with superb views.
The journey from Corralejo can be made on foot or by car ( a 4x4 is not necessary).
It is difficult to find the start of the road from Corralejo, known as the crater route, so here's how to find it.
Ask locally for the CD Corralejo football ground.
From there head to the Estrella del Norte roundabout (wth the sailing boat sculpture).
From there head towards the quarry with the white guard's box in front.
By the pylon turn right onto the unmade road of an unbuilt housing development (no houses).
Go along the road (very bumpy) until you see, higher up on your left, a large square white building.
Turn left onto the road that runs beside it, initially it is steep and very rough but quickly improves.
Just keep going along this road to the parking place.
The views as you travel along this road are superb.
Climb up to the rim of the volcano and as you walk along the rim of the volcano you will meet "the lion" and "the dog".
Eventually you will come to "the table" where the cache is hidden.
It is advised that, after discovering the cache, you walk to the end of the rim for the views. On the way you will meet "the rhinoceros".
Oh, and you will need a good imagination like me.
Tamarindo 90210 is nearby and you can continue along the road to Vulcano.
WARNING
You will need sturdy trainers or preferably walking shoes.
The hike is unsuitable for young children but can be managed by older children who are experienced walkers and are properly supervised.
It is definitely unsuitable for a young family who fancy a day off the beach.
The real problem is the terrain on the lower slopes of the volcano which are covered in loose rocks.
Higher up the climb is steep but there is plenty of bedrock.
At the top you will need a bit of a head for heights.
To avoid some of the loose rocks you can start from the trailhead which is a path up the adjacent volcano, leave the path to the right to head towards the cache
