Although this is an easy to moderate difficulty-level hike, we highly recommend that you come equipped with proper mountain walking footwear, suitable clothing, sunblock and water, and book your tour in advance by contacting the companies on La Palma that specialise in this kind of activity, or on the website set up for residents.
