Part 1 of the round.
Completely also suitable for "foot sick". More like a walk. 95% wide forest slope with forest floor. Requirements is easy.
Clear hiking map at the parking lot, after which we are still up to Garajonay.

Took the bus to Cruz de Pajarito. Took trail 14/16.
The forest path led slowly downhill along the Barranco de Lasadoy, past flowering shrubs and flowers. The path continued through a patch of Canary pines and met Barranco Azadoe. Along the Barranco, it slowly went uphill and the path offered great views of Roque de Agando and the floating Tenerife. …
