PR-TF 70.2 Boca Tauce–Las Fuentes Trail

PR-TF 70.2 is a 4.2-mile (6.72-km) point-to-point walk from Llano del Negro, also called Tumba del Negro, down to the hamlet of Las Fuentes at about 992 m. It drops roughly 983 m overall, with about 47 m of climbing and 1,027 m of descent. Allow about 2 hours 40 minutes of walking, plus stops. This is the full named route, not a loop or the shorter walk that starts at Las Fuentes; arrange a pickup or vehicle shuffle at the far end.

The footpath repeatedly cuts across a nearby track as it descends through pine forest. Follow the yellow-and-white PR markers. At the junction where the other branch continues toward Adeje, take the right-hand route for Las Fuentes; farther down, the marked path leaves the track on the right. The pines thin into tagasaste and codeso scrub, with views over the mountains of Isora and, on clear days, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro.

Near the bottom, the route passes Los Poleos, a traditional house once set with small pens for goats and chickens, then follows an old bridle path with high stone walls into Las Fuentes. The settlement’s terraces, bread ovens, threshing floors and wine presses tell the story of a rural farming and livestock center. Local accounts differ on its later population history, so the enduring point is the landscape and its surviving farm structures.

The start is at Llano del Negro/Tumba del Negro beside the Juan Évora Ethnographic Museum on TF-21; parking there is limited. Las Fuentes also has limited parking and no nearby services. The trail page does not describe a return shuttle, so settle the pickup or car shuffle before you begin. The route crosses Teide National Park, where ordinary pets are prohibited; guide dogs are an exception.
