At the end of the La Laja road, climb the cement ramp then follow the dirt track to the dam. Follow the path for 50m, then go up to the right towards a remnant of volcanic dyke (wall) which you bypass on the left. The path is marked by 2 rows of pebbles, however, on the rocky parts they may be absent: pay close attention also to the bends, a continuation of the path may appear which is false, when it has followed a pronounced curve. This part of the hike arrives at the Mirador del Bailadero. A short round trip allows you to enjoy the view of the entire Hermigua valley. If it is the time, the "Tajinaste azul", Gomero endemism, will be in bloom. Climb the stairs to reach the road.

Follow in the direction of San Sébastien (GR131), The path enters the forest again to make a loop intended mainly for those who only do this one. The alternative is to follow the side of the road for 50m and find the path on the left a little further down. Follow the GR131 through the viewpoints. One of these, overlooking the whole of Roques, requires recrossing the road below the 1st watchtower and walking some 50m more before returning. Descend to the rock of Agando and the structure in tribute to the dead caused by the fire of 1984 in this place. On the right, below, a path leads to Benchijigua.
