The GR 131 is another long hiking trail and crosses the highest peek of La Palma. It starts in Tazacorte and ends at the lighthouse of Fuencaliente. In total it is 72 km long. The GR 130 and the GR 131 are connected at many points with the local trails LP.

Mountain Huts

With these two mountain huts you can devide the GR 131 in 3 stages.
