    Exclusions
      Please note

        If you are afraid of heights, this hike might be challenging for you, as the path does not have borders all the way through.

        There are seven long tunnels along the path. If you have experienced any signs of claustrophobia beforehand, this hike will be challenging for you.

        If you have any noteworthy illness or disability, such as a lack of balance, please inform your guide. Also, if you need to take any specific pills throughout the day, please inform the guide.

        The times given on the itinerary are merely informative. There might be some delays due to possible delays caused by traffic.

        What to bring

          The weather on the island changes so fast, so please bring a rain or wind jacket with you, even in the summer.

          Also, this hike is pretty high on the mountains, so it could be a bit cold. Bring something warm with you, even if you decide to leave it on the car afterward. It is better to be safe than sorry.

          The hike might be a bit more challenging than you expect, so bring some snacks and water with you. Maybe even something sweet.

          Please bring a flashlight, due to the tunnels along the hike. Save up your phone's battery for the photos.
