Hiking routes in Garajonay,
on foot from the house<\/span><\/span><\/h1>

El Cedro is a crossroads of trails in the National Park. From the house you can walk to the Lourdes chapel, go down to the Chorro de El Cedro or spend a whole day among laurels, heather and mist.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

The four routes through El Cedro<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

The official route pages start each walk at its usual trailhead; since they all pass through El Cedro, you can start them from the house.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>Easy<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div>

A short walk along the El Cedro stream, under moss-covered trees and among giant ferns, to a small chapel with wooden tables and a spring. It\u2019s the one we recommend to start with: the best way to get to know the laurel forest, and good with children too.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

It descends from the heart of the forest along a cobbled path, with lichens hanging from the branches, to El Cedro and the foot of the cliff the Chorro falls from. The way back is uphill, and the mist often comes along.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

For a whole day. It starts among the heathland of the summit, descends through the laurel forest of the north side and crosses ravine floors with huge vi\u00f1\u00e1tigo trees before reaching El Cedro and its waterfall. It is one of the most complete routes in the Park.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
