Information points
Advice on the spot
The Park has a Visitors' Centre, three information kiosks and a camp site for organised groups. You will find a description of their location and functions here.
The National Park has several information points, the most important of which is La Caldera Visitors' Centre (Centro de Visitantes de La Caldera). This is the place to look for maps, advice and up to the minute information about the conditions of the paths. It also has an interesting exhibition of panels and videos about the Park's natural assets, and a relief map of the island.The exhibition is changed from time to time. In the gardens, you can see some of the rarer of the plant species, which are extremely difficult to find in the wild.
On the other hand, the Park has information kiosks at La Cumbrecita (see access number 3), El Roque de los Muchachos and the track from Lomo de los Caballos to Los Brecitos (see access number 1). It is worth stopping at all of these for up to the minute information about the tracks and the paths and the weather forecast (essential in the access to La Cumbrecita ).
And, finally, the Park also has the El Riachuelo Camp-Nature School (on La Cumbrecita road, about 2 km before the car park) It has 7 cabins, each with room for 11, for schools and organised groups wishing to study and enjoy nature. To use the facilities, you need to apply for a permit at the Visitors' Centre and pay a deposit to cover any possible damage.
