RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Respect the regulations and recommendations of the National Park.
  • Respect the domestic livestock that you are likely to encounter at some point along the route.
  • Bring enough water, sunscreen and a hat to protect you from the sun and wind. Also warm clothes and raincoat. In the mountains, the weather can change abruptly.
  • Use poles to help you on descents and rocky or muddy areas, and waterproof hiking boots to protect your ankles from getting wet.
  • Perhaps on this route you will find a mastiff dog protecting the livestock. These animals are working, so do not approach them to pet or feed them, nor allow them to follow you and leave their herd. They are NOT abandoned, they are simply doing their job. Avoid approaching livestock and in case cows, sheep or goats are interrupting the path, try to go around them and move as far away as possible. And if you go with your own dog, ALWAYS LEAD IT ON A LEASH. Remember you and your dog are the intruders, he is on his turf and performing his function.
