This is the park’s SA PMR 01 out-and-back from the pedestrian sidewalk at Mirador de La Ruleta to Los Tagorores.

Los Tagorores is a family activity area with views of Roque Cinchado, Teide and Pico Viejo, with Montaña Blanca and the Las Cañadas caldera wall in the wider panorama. Guajara rises behind the Parador. The view is the payoff: a wide frame can hold both the rock formations and the volcanic backdrop.
