History

Start early
Morning departures avoid the strongest sun and make the approach and exposed sections more comfortable.
Wear closed shoes
Sturdy mountain or closed sports shoes are required—no sandals; grippy soles improve stability on volcanic rock.
Bring water and snacks
Carry at least 1.5 L of drinking water and a compact snack to maintain energy on the route.
Tell guides about restrictions
Notify the operator of recent injuries, pregnancy, or serious heart/spinal conditions before booking; some conditions are not allowed.
Closed mountain or trail shoes
Grip and foot protection on volcanic slabs and ledges.
1.5 L water bottle or hydration bladder
Stay hydrated in Gran Canaria’s strong sun and dry microclimates.

Light wind/sun layer (track jacket)
