Enduro route in Artenara for advanced level
The circular route starts at the crossroads of Los Chorros (Firgas) along some paths that end up going downhill. It then continues uphill along dirt tracks that lead to the area around Cuevas de Caballero. After going down a very long path, you will reach the village of Artenara, where it is essential to refill your water and food for the return journey. Here you cycle up the main Artenara road in the direction of Pinos de Gáldar. Then the route joins the descent to Fontanales, another good place to buy water if necessary.

From Fontanales it climbs along a path until it meets the road to the Curvas del Acero. This will take you back to the outskirts of Firgas. Now you only have to go down a dirt track to finish climbing an old descent that will take you back to the starting point of the route.
