It\u2019s a massive gabled roof that grew at a dizzying rate (on a geological scale, that is). Along its ridge we\u2019ll find traces of six historical eruptions, which are those that we have a written record of. And we will see all of them along our path.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u00a0[vc_separator type=&#8217;transparent&#8217; position=&#8217;center&#8217; color=&#8221; thickness=&#8221; up=&#8217;5&#8242; down=&#8217;5&#8242;]<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We start by going down towards the east by the LP-301. This very short stretch of asphalt ends with a view of the Tacande cone (eruption of Monta\u00f1a Quemada, c. 1460). The Astronomical Viewpoint marks the start of the Pista del Oeste, the first of the two forest paths that make up our route.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[vc_separator type=&#8217;transparent&#8217; position=&#8217;center&#8217; color=&#8221; thickness=&#8221; up=&#8217;5&#8242; down=&#8217;5&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Barely a couple kilometres onwards we find two new geological elements of interest: an informal viewpoint overlooking the Llano del Banco (the most productive of San Juan\u2019s volcanic mouths, which had its lava reach the coast of Tazacorte in 1949) and the Hoyo de la Sima (a much older gas chimney, with a sheer, 70 metre drop inside).

The change in direction happens at Monta\u00f1a de los Arreboles, near the town of Los Canarios. If we want to, we can descend towards the town following Route 5, but there are a couple alternatives to refill water bottles. The first option is to dismount and follow the path SL FU 110 towards the Fuente del Ti\u00f3n. The second option, on the eastern slope, is to go to the Recreation Area at Fuente de los Roques (which also has tables and benches).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[vc_separator type=&#8217;transparent&#8217; position=&#8217;center&#8217; color=&#8221; thickness=&#8221; up=&#8217;5&#8242; down=&#8217;5&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before completing the circle we traverse another two historical eruptions: the Malpa\u00eds de Flores (created by the Volc\u00e1n de Tigalate in 1646) and the narrow bands that happened from the overflow in the lava fields of El Duraznero (1949). The return trip goes along the paths PR LP 1 and SL VM 124, along the path shared with Route 4.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221; position=&#8221;center&#8221; up=&#8221;20&#8243; down=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;19512,19511,19510,19513&#8243; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; custom_links_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_number=&#8221;4&#8243; grayscale=&#8221;no&#8221; choose_frame=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221; position=&#8221;center&#8221; up=&#8221;20&#8243; down=&#8221;20&#8243;]<a  itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/senderosdelapalma.com\/en\/mountainbikes\/network-of-mountain-bike-routes\/\" target=\"_self\"  class=\"qbutton  default\" style=\"\"><i class=\"qode_icon_font_awesome fa fa-arrow-left qode_button_icon_element\"><\/i><\/a>[vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221; position=&#8221;center&#8221; up=&#8221;20&#8243; down=&#8221;20&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;40&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f8f8f8&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1432728318573{padding: 18px 18px 17px !important;background-color: #dd3333 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text] ROUTE 3 [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1432713523590{padding: 1px !important;background-color: #000000 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1432713536762{padding: 15px&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":19713,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-19777","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/senderosdelapalma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/senderosdelapalma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/senderosdelapalma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/senderosdelapalma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/senderosdelapalma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/senderosdelapalma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19777\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/senderosdelapalma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/senderosdelapalma.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
