TRACK 7: Ravelo (Las Calderetas), Return.

Again, not difficult track and very varied in order to have a nice of couple of hours. You will start from the picnic area called Las Calderetas.  28°26'47.70"N  28°26'47.70"N. There is water supply but I still recommend to bring your own stuff. There is a nice parking area. Not very long track (20 kms.) but quite nice and entertaining. Forest environment all the time.

All the area is marked with pole of different colours. Blue for motor vehicles, orange for cyclists and pedestrians.

If you need further details, Please, leave a comment and I will try to help you enjoy the place.

Usually you will find free space to leave your vehicle. If full, there is a junction 300 mts ahead up the road where you can park your car and there is also a nice road bar with local dishes and fresh drinks after your ride.

TRACK 5: From Buenavista to Monte del Agua (Return)

Not difficult track combining asphalt and forest tracks. 37 kms with a long way uphill from the village of Buenavista del Norte, take to road direction El Palmar, Las Portelas, Masca.

Nice views over the ocean and the low lands with banana plantations. After 9 kms you will come to a deviation on the left leading into the forest known as Monte del Agua with 10 kms from the beginning up the other side where you you should turn back. No water supply in the forest. But some restaurants in the asphalt part if you would like to enjoy the local food.
