Walk 14 - Barranco de Masca
The Barranco de Masca has been closed for some time and a date for re-opening has not been made available. When the Barranco re-opens, it will feature controlled access, no doubt similar to the Barranco del Infierno (Walk 15).

Teide National Park - Note that almost all of the walking trails can close on certain days during October, November, May and June, but this should only happen on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, at varying hours during the day. This is to allow hunters to shoot mouflon that were imported from Corsica, preventing them from over-grazing the vegetation. The only trail guaranteed to remain open is the one climbing El Teide via Montaña Blanca (Walk 37 / Sendero 7). To avoid making a wasted journey, please contact the national park office in advance of any visit during these months. Visit only on the days that all the trails are open. Check at the national park visitor centre at El Portillo, or tel 922 922 371.

Walk 45 - On the final road descent to La Esperanza, watch out for a signpost pointing left along another road. This quickly leads to a fine path through a wooded valley, emerging in a park in the town centre.

Walk 21 - The upper part of this walk, from Boca Tauce to the 'era' is closed. The main problem occurs after the forestry house, where the route passes beneath a cliff. There is a danger of rockfall at this point, and as a result the path is dangerous. As it is no longer being used, it has also become overgrown.
