Route description

From Lomo del Cerrillar, this selected outing crosses Teide National Park’s Caramujo volcanic sector. The path follows Montaña de la Punta de Maja’s slope and intersects the old El Filo way. A break in the cloud may reveal La Orotava Valley to the north. Study how the volcanic forms fit together in an unhurried upper landscape away from road traffic. The eastern section reaches the saddle between Montaña de Enmedio and La Carnicería, ending on the Volcán de Fasnia path. Ascents of the neighbouring summits are not included. Independent walking approaches remain before the beginning and after the ending; choose them beforehand to make this connection a clear part of your park day.

Avoid accidental slope branches at junctions. Allow time for the complete approach and roadside exit; do not rely on water or transport at the saddle.

How much time to allow

With stops | 1 hr 45 min–2 hr 15 min The park and tourism body give around an hour and a half in one direction. The margins and pause intervals are editorial estimates for the selected connection. Add Arenas Negras approach, exit through the adjoining network and transport return independently.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
For a valley view, choose a day with breaks above the island’s northern side. Fog and a sea of cloud may hide the landscape; check snow and ice in winter. Summer brings open sun and current conservation restrictions. Check the state of the complete daily walking connection.
