- REMARKS: This path is an alternative to the PR LP 12 for descending to Tinizara rather than Tijarafe. So defined, the route would begin at Roque de los Muchachos, from where it takes approximately two hours to reach the start of the path (in a downhill direction; 2h 30min uphill), implying the use of a private vehicle or taxi at both departure and arrival points of the hike. The path also lends itself to different combinations with others in the Network. In the Comments for the PR LP 10 path, a number of alternatives are described.
