Ruta 17: Pajarito - Alto de Garajonay - Pajarito

This is an alternative route up to the Alto de Garajonay, the highest point on the island, where there are a number of archaeological sites, which have been excavated and adapted for visits; this place was one of the main ceremonial and religious centres

Covering just 4.5 km, this is a gentle outing perfect for families or beginners. Allow roughly 1 hour.

This loop trail is a practical choice for day hikers: you start and end at the same spot, with no shuttle or pick-up required. Follow the PN17 waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
