Walking from San Andrés towards Valverde, we will cross the mythical Garoé and its pools. This was a sacred tree for the island's aborigines, which was said to cry water. Located in a legendary forest in the middle of the route to Valverde. And in the afternoon, once the route is over, a visit to the natural pools of El Tamaduste is a must.

Hiking Route - 10.5 km | + 500m | - 500m Today's trail begins in the Hoya del Morcillo to ascend towards the peaks, crossing beautiful century-old pine forests and reaching the remote fayales and heathers with magical shapes. A beautiful forest of large ancient pine trees makes its way on our descent until we reach the Hoya del Morcillo. This is a recreational and camping area located between volcanic cones, very close to the town of El Pinar. From this point the return ascent to the summit begins, passing through the Cueva del Mocán. Shortly before reaching the Cruz de Los Reyes, it is surprising to find some dense forests with enormous laurels, fayas and heather, which were used in the past to produce charcoal. Now the path is part of the "Camino de La Virgen" (GR 131) developing along the edge of the El Hierro summit and enjoying exceptional views of both sides of the island.
