Looking into the crater along Barranco de Angustias

Barranco de Angustias has the only river flowing out of the huge Caldera de Taburiente. From here, the trail goes down a bit, to a parking lot. Then there are two trails into the crater: along the canyon floor, or on the left hand side, along the slopes of the crater, towards the Mirador de los Brecitos and beyond. Both trails lead to the campground in the middle of the crater. Combined, they make an easy two-day circuit, with plenty of time to spare to explore the crater.
