Another spectacular transfer took us to a magnificent viewpoint right into the huge erosion crater of the National Park. The steep windy road zig zagged continuously up the gorge to arrive at the Mirador de los Brecitos (1030m).
We left the bus here and walked down into the very heart of the crater on superb paths surrounded by steep walls. Around and above us rise the peaks along the rim of the Caldera de Taburiente that we visited on our first hike. Truly dramatic scenery!
We arrived at the "Playa de Taburiente" where we took a lunch break and admired the scenery. Then its down through steep forest tracks to join the river at the Barranco de Angustias. Once down we had the option to visit the "waterfall of colours" and then we followed the valley downstream through the gorge of the Rio Angustias to the finish.
A bar with cold beer was conveniently only a few kilometres further!
