This circular route of low difficulty is accessible to any person, especially in the first kilometre, since it is virtually flat. It crosses a pine grove in the middle of the slope on heavily eroded volcanic substrate. The trail contains interpretive panels, designed to explain the existing geological formations and the natural phenomena which have occurred in recent years. Approximately at half of the route you arrive at the vantage point Lomo de Las Chozas, where you can enjoy the view of the numerous topographical features of la Caldera, as well as see the Casas de Tenerra, the Roque Palmero and the Pico de La Cruz, in addition to deep ravines as the Diablo, which converges on the Barranco de las Angustias. After a narrow trail of 2 km, which crosses several wooden bridges, saving small ravines where plenty of water runs in rainy seasons, you get to the Mirador de Los Roques, where the vision of the impressive pine forest and the depth of the ravines confer grandeur to the landscape. This is one of the most visited places in the Caldera. From this point, and through a zigzag path of about 500 m in length, you reaches the point of departure, the Mirador de La Cumbrecita.

Toward the South of La Cumbrecita, taking the forest track that goes to Lomo de Las Chozas, there is a indicative panel of the trail that accesses through the Northern face of the Roque de Los Cuervos. The first part of this tour is ascending and strong, skirting large cliffs. This is the reason why the trail is only recommended for experienced hikers, which do not suffer from vertigo. The spectacular views of the pine and the lava flows that can be seen as one ascends compensate the effort that the rise requires. Looking from North to South, you can observe the Roques de La Cumbrecita, Cumbre Nueva and Cumbre Vieja. From the highest point of this journey, the Pico Bejenado, one can enjoy the best view of the national park. Be particularly careful while walking and avoid throwing stones, because, on the lower part of the path, there is another path which goes in the direction of the Mirador de Las Chozas.

The path starts in the North of the hill of La Cumbrecita and, from the beginning of the tour, one can see a host of fallen trees, as a result of the tropical storm Delta in 2005. Northward, it is possible to contemplate a panoramic view of the Caldera; Southward the Valle del Riachuelo and Cumbre Nueva and, towards the Northeast, you can see the Roques de la Cumbrecita. Gently lowering between the pines, it is possible to appreciate the different species of flora, such as amagantes, tederas and corazoncillos. After approximately 400 m, you pass next to a rocky promontory, where you can appreciate a pine that was rooted in a fissure in the rock, along with various specimens that are typical in the rocks. Before arriving to the Barranco de Juan Flores, several specimens of the tajinastes azules (Echium) can be seen, which will accompany the visitor during the journey into the Barranco del Riachuelo. On its riverbed, the Barranco de Juan Flores presents vegetation that varies in species, being abundant the ones associated to wet and fresh environments . When crossing the ravine, you can see a few stone walls that delimit old crop areas and blackened pines, the result of forest fires during the nineties. Rising 30 m you can access to a rocky outcrop, which is conditioned as a vantage point. A steep slope descends towards the Barranco de Guedea and, about 200 m from it, there are several plots to experiment the specimens of the flora of the park, some of which are in danger of extinction. Before reaching the Barranco del Salto de la Pantanera, there are several pine trees debarked in their lower part, due to the rockfalls caused by rain and strong wind. In the cliff, a natural dam was exploited to build a small water pool, used by birds and walkers. The path continues next to the cliff and then descends. Travellers must be careful with the landslides on the top of it. The route crosses the Barranco de Tabercorade, which, on its right margin, presents a construction with the appearance of cave, used for storing explosives for the opening of the tunnel. Then, the path ascends in zig zag and, about 200 m after, you can observe large pine trees damaged by landslides in 2004 and 2005. The path continues to the Barranco de La Madera and Laja Azul and, a little bit ahead, a viewpoint offers a good landscape of Cumbre Nueva. After, climbing down in zig zag and walking around the cliff where the mirador was, you will come to the Galería (tunnel) of Laja Azul. The trail joins the access track to the tunnel and presents an irregular soil, but it can be accessed by vehicles. Further ahead you reach the Fuente del Pino, which was formerly used for washing clothes and watering livestock. At 300 m there is another tunnel, the Intermediate one, from where you abandon the track and continue through the path to the left. The tour continues at the foot of the cliff, passing by abandoned crops of almond trees until reaching the Barranco de Juan Caitana. The descent of the ravine begins after 200 m and, on its upper part, you can see abandoned cultivation terraces. Approximately 4.5 km from the start is the Galería de Las Palomas, which presents a small altar with a virgin. A steep climb finishes in a vantage point, from which you can observe the Colada de San Juan. From this vantage point, while you're descending you pass by the stream bed of the Barranco de las Palomas, being able to observe chestnut trees, almond trees and pine trees. The path climbs up to the borderline of the Lomo de Padrón, continuing until the top of the hill and bordering the area under cultivation. In the final stretch, you can find the Galería de Ajonique and the route that passes through the ravine of the same name. On the left margin of the ravine it bounds with the track PR LP-1, until it finishes in the chapel of the Virgen del Pino.

This tour is extremely hard, both by the time and the length and nature of the terrain, so it is only recommended for very experienced hikers and with much resistance. The path starts in the parking lots of La Cumbrecita and passes through areas of pine grove next to large cliffs, through which several tunnels, fountains and even a waterfall can be seen. The first stretch is virtually horizontal. Nevertheless, after several kilometres starts the complexity of the trail, passing through areas that ascend and descend and where landslides easily happen. In some cases, part of it can be missing due to the rain or landslides. The sharp increase towards the Lomo del Escuchadero will be rewarded by the sight of the walls covered by bejeques and tajinastes. In addition, the journey allows us to observe archaeological remains in the form of petroglyphs.

The path starts in Lomo de Las Chozas, near the viewpoint of La Cumbrecita, and it is recommended to experienced hikers. Moreover, the visitor must be careful with the dry pine needles that fell on the road, since you may slip. It starts with a moderate decline and then a steep slope. Then, the slope softens and, on the upper part of it, you can see the Roque de la Zarza, which rises above the pine grove. The rest of the journey is carried out by skirting around some cliffs, crossing several ravines and narrow paths, such as the one which gives access to the Barranco del Paso Malo, where hikers who suffer from vertigo are advised against travelling due to the vision of the precipices. In the last stretch, you can see how the pine forest becomes clearer, making way to typical species of the basal soil.

The journey begins with a sharp increase of approximately 0.6 km along the track of Valencia and then levels off by the track of Ferrer 1.5 km, until it links up with a zigzag sidewalk of moderate slope that leads to the peak. Probably the most interesting thing about this route is the possibility to observe pahoehoe lavas, volcanic tubes and archaeological deposits of petroglyphs (deep engravings on the rock), in those places that the aborigines of the island used as grazing areas. The path passes through a small pine grove, with scarce understorey, accompanied by species as amagantes (Cistus symphytifolius) and corazoncillos (Lotus campylocladus). From the Pico de Bejenado, the end point of the route, at 1,854 m, you can enjoy a wide view of the Caldera and the most recent volcanoes of the island. The return can be done through alternative routes, from El Rodeo to the Roque de Los Cuervos and from this one towards La Cumbrecita and towards the track of Valencia, along the watershed with the valley of Riachuelo.

This path runs through a pine grove that is easily passable, with an understorey of fayas (myrica faya), brezos (erica arborea) and amagantes (Cistus symphytifolius), and lowers continuously until the interior of La Caldera. Depending on the season of the year, you will be able to observe numerous ravines through which the water passes and, almost permanently, the watercourse of the ravines of Ciempiés or of Las Traves. On the way down to the last ravine, you can easily see Los Agujeritos, which corresponds to a set of rocks of sawing profile. In addition to the pine forest that dominates the entire national park, along this route you will be able to enjoyrock outcrop vegetation,saucedas (salix canariensis) in riverbeds of ravines and, even in the shadiest areas, typical species of the laurel, such as viñátigos (persea indica), follaos (viburnum rigidum) or algaritofes (cedronella canariensis). There are also several fountains, such as La Mula, which is put up for drinking, and an archaeological site.

The path is recommended for expert hikers and without vertigo, as some sections of its ascent are very dangerous for its narrowness and instability. The visitor should have in mind that there is no water in the intermediate areas of the path, so you must supply yourself on the beach of Taburiente.

The route begins directly in the camping area and can be reached by the PR LP 13 from the Barranco de las Angustias or from the Mirador de Los Brecitos. This is one of the most beautiful routes of La Caldera, since you can enjoy the view of the water that runs through the walls of stone and the vision of different roques, among which the most remarkable is Roque del Huso.

The continuing ascent through the pine grove towards the end of the track is rewarded at the height of the Mirador de la Fondada, from which there is a waterfall of 150 m along vertical walls. If you continue the ascent, you reach to the dense pine grove of Siete Fuentes, where a new viewpoint will delight you with the vision of the Roque de La Fondada, Roque Salvaje and La Cumbrecita. Before arriving to Hoyo Verde, you pass through a small detachment of the wall that occurred several decades ago and, then, through several waterfalls.

The path runs through a pine grove that starts in the service centre of the camping area and goes towards the Roque de la Brevera Macha, inhabited by abundant bejeques (aeonium spp.). Passing the slope of the Barranco del Almendro Amargo and after a small stretch that levels off until the Somada de El Palo, a steep descent called La Cuesta del Reventón starts. The observable vegetation from this point is a combination of pines with amagantes (cistus symphytifolius), escobones (chamaecytisus proliferus), vinagreras (rumex lunaria L.) and mato riscos (lavandula canariensis). The most impressive thing is the vision of the Roque Idafe. Under this Roque converge the transparent waters of the Barranco del Almendro Amargo and those of the Limonero or Rivanceras, of yellow stream bed. Climbing the yellow stream bed, you can find a natural waterfall, artificially increased, called Cascada de colores, due to the existing moss and the colour of the water, rich in iron.

From Dos Aguas you have to cross the ravine to continue the route. At certain times of the year, the flow is very abundant, so walking from the camping area is prohibited by the Park, in order to avoid that the walkers find themselves in dangerous situations when wading the ravine. From this point onwards you can enjoy geological elements like levees and pillow lavas.

The tour is recommended for experienced trekkers and it is not advisable if there is fog. It starts at a height of 2,000 m, so the predominant vegetation is transitional, between the pine grove and the thickets of the high mountains.

After the hill of the Barranco de la Madera, a large levee, parallel to the trail, can be seen. To the West of the levee, towards La Caldera, the headwaters of Barranquera Abierta, traditionally used by the goatherds to descend to its interior. There is no trail, but it is possible to pass. The ground presents a steep slope and it is loose in many areas. As you progress the path branches: to the left you arrive at the Pico de La Sabina through the Ermita de Los Guanches, where you can see the traces of the old settlers of the island, the benahoaries. To the right you go through the headwaters of the Barranco del Limonero. Both gather again after the Pico.

From the Degollada del Rio to La Punta de Los Roques, the views are breathtaking, although it is insecure to walk in some steps. The view will show us Cumbre Nueva, totally covered by vegetation, and Cumbre Vieja, of greater height and crowned by volcanic cones.

As you go down, the pine grove with amagante (cistus symphytifolius) will be combining with brezos (erica arborea) and fayas (myrica faya) and, where the fogs are frequent, it only appears the monteverde (evergreen forest).

The descent towards the hermitage is very steep, but once you are there you can enjoy a panoramic view of the recent volcanoes Enríquez and Tacande, and Los Roques de La Perra and Bejenado.

The path starts in the track towards Pico de La Nieve and the codeso dominates during the entire journey. You can see examples of other natural species of the summit, such as the alhelí (erysimum scoparium), the cedro (juniperus cedrus), the Violeta (viola palmensis), the peralillo de cumbre (maytenus canariensis) and the tajinaste azul (echium webbii). In the cliffs next to Pico Piedrallana, there is a cave that was used by the old settlers as a burial place, because a vessel and human bones were found inside it. The route crosses several ravines, in which you can see examples of plants that are exclusive, such as retamón (genista benehoavensis), tagasaste (chamaecytisus palmensis), gacía, retama de cumbres (spartocytision nubigeni) and, in addition to the tajinaste azul already mentioned, is also present the rosado (echium trichosyphon).

Along the route you can connect with different short routes that are perfectly identified, as, for example, PR LP 7, which goes to Los Sauces, PR LP 8 to Barlovento, or PR LP 9 to Roque Faro.

There are several vantage points in which you can stop to observe the spectacular views. The Mirador de Franceses is equipped with a wooden fence and a paved floor and,behind it, you can observe two levees, the first with an opening in the form of a V and the second with tenuos pre-hispanic engravings. Going up the hill you will get to the astrophysical observatory, the end point of the tour, El Roque de Los Muchachos, passing by the Pico Fuente Nueva. Nearby there is a tiny fountain of the same name, where the water drips throughout the year.

The paved path starts in the parking lot of the Roque de Los Muchachos and there are four vantage points over its course. It is recommended to walk with caution, especially when there is wind, snow, or ice, and slowly to avoid the fatigue brought on by the lack of oxygen, due to the altitude at which it was located.

During the journey, you will be able to observe different levees and stop at viewpoints, such as the one that will show you the impressive cliff of Los Cantos de Turugumay. In addition, you can enjoy the sight of the islands of Tenerife, La Gomera and El Hierro.

The existing vegetation corresponds with the thickets of the high mountains, alhelí (erysimum scoparium), retamón (genista benehoarensis), violeta (viola palmensis), cinco uñas, retama (spartocytisus supranubius) and clavelillo de cumbre (cerastium swentenii).

If you want to do the complete journey, the track is only recommended for resistant walkers due to the strong gradient. An option used by some visitors is to go out of the track and return through the parking lot of Roque de Los Muchachos, reaching to the surroundings of Somada Alta. There, you can observe the most spectacular part of the tour and there are no logistical problems.

During the tour you pass by the headwaters of several ravines, such as Hoyo Verde, Bombas de Agua o Tajodeque, used by the shepherds to descend to La Caldera.

At the top of the Roque Palmero, there are prehispanic remains combined with engravings made during the eruption of the Volcano San Juan, in the middle of the twentieth century Once you pass it, you find the Barranco de Tajodeque, in which there are the largest set of pyroclastic rocks and, on its left margin, a yellow roque with aboriginal inscriptions. Near the track, in the headwaters of Barranco de Jieque, there are fences framing the repopulation of Bencomia de cumbre ( Bencomia exstipulata) in the cliffs next to the park. It is the first natural population of this species known in La Palma, with 20 specimens. Since 2011 there are 3 other known locations, with a total of 120 natural specimens.

Although the path GR 131 continues until Tazacorte, the end of the track is in la Torre del Time, built to monitor fires.
