The ascent takes us up to an upper dirt track which goes from Arteaga to Ayagaures. At this point, we turn to the right along this dirt track and walk a further kilometre and a half or more, passing the Arteaga Necropolis, the biggest tombstone cemetery in the Canaries.

As we reach a slight curve and to our left, a path appears which goes up to an area of huge red blocks of stone, the result of a  massive landslide. From there, the path continues along a slight rise with loose stones after which, again going up, the track makes its way along a hill to a small spur, from where we will take  a path heading  north. Special attention should be paid to the cairns showing us the way to follow. At the end of this path, there is a dirt track, now in the pine tree area. In a few kilometres we find ourselves at more than 1000 metres above sea level. After passing the Degollada de la Yegua, and leaving behind to the left the Barranco de Vicentillos, a dirt track zig-zags along and opens out onto a little plateau. Some 700 metres before we reach the Degollada de Manzanilla, we connect up with route I coming from Ayagaures. The descent down to the right will lead us, over nearly four kilometres, to San Bartolomé de Tirajana.
