To get to this place, you must take one of the secondary roads from G\u00fc\u00edmar or Arafo towards the TF-24 road.

Normally, as we said before, the route starts at the Mirador de la Crucita viewpoint; from this point there is a path that crosses a pine forest and areas with sparse vegetation, gradually climbing to the summit of Pico Cho Marcial. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several options for this journey, but almost all of them have a simple initial section in common, with some elevation gain, and gradually the terrain becomes increasingly irregular: rocks, volcanic soil, unstable ground in some places. It is advisable to carry a GPS or a map of the area. The routes to climb Pico Cho Marcial usually take between 3 and 5 hours, round trip, depending on the exact route, rest stops, and pace. It is approximately 7.5 kilometers, with some demanding sections and a spectacular final reward.   <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5f8966 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f5f8966\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sansofestay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/AScenso-ruta-Pico-Cho-Marcial-rjojcb9ow5efrliiitcvq8obv7vxnb8rp6g56fibu8.webp\" title=\"AScenso-ruta-Pico-Cho-Marcial\" alt=\"AScenso-ruta-Pico-Cho-Marcial\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dceac38 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dceac38\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5bcb85d\" data-id=\"5bcb85d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3189492 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3189492\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Difficulty of the Pico Cho Marcial route<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e471e29 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e471e29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This route is not easy or recommended for people without experience in mountain hiking.

This mountainous area is very close to the Corona Forestal Natural Park, an incredible protected area that surrounds Teide National Park. To get to this place, you must take one of the secondary roads from G\\u00fc\\u00edmar or Arafo towards the TF-24 road. One of the best starting points for the route to the summit is the Mirador de la Crucita viewpoint, where the views of the Caldera de Pedro Gil are spectacular.   <\\\/span><\\\/p>\",\"text_color\":\"#7A7A7A\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_family\":\"Maven Pro\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":18,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_font_weight\":\"400\",\"align\":\"justify\",\"_margin\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"top\":\"-15\",\"right\":\"0\",\"bottom\":\"0\",\"left\":\"0\",\"isLinked\":false}},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"},{\"id\":\"9fd9f94\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"address\":\"pico cho marcial\",\"zoom\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":11,\"sizes\":[]},\"height\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":400,\"sizes\":[]}},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"google_maps\"}],\"isInner\":false}],\"isInner\":false},{\"id\":\"985173e\",\"elType\":\"section\",\"settings\":{\"margin\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"top\":\"30\",\"right\":0,\"bottom\":\"0\",\"left\":0,\"isLinked\":false}},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"b031567\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":100,\"_inline_size\":null},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"04d0b44\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"title\":\"How to climb Pico Cho Marcial?\",\"title_color\":\"#69775E\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_family\":\"Maven Pro\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":30,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_font_weight\":\"700\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"heading\"},{\"id\":\"0c2140d\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"editor\":\"<p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">To climb Pico Cho Marcial, you will need physical preparation and planning, as it is a natural route, without an official trail, that can only be done on foot. Normally, as we said before, the route starts at the Mirador de la Crucita viewpoint; from this point there is a path that crosses a pine forest and areas with sparse vegetation, gradually climbing to the summit of Pico Cho Marcial. <\\\/span><\\\/p><p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">There are several options for this journey, but almost all of them have a simple initial section in common, with some elevation gain, and gradually the terrain becomes increasingly irregular: rocks, volcanic soil, unstable ground in some places. It is advisable to carry a GPS or a map of the area. The routes to climb Pico Cho Marcial usually take between 3 and 5 hours, round trip, depending on the exact route, rest stops, and pace. It is approximately 7.5 kilometers, with some demanding sections and a spectacular final reward.   <\\\/span><\\\/p>\",\"text_color\":\"#7A7A7A\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_family\":\"Maven Pro\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":18,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_font_weight\":\"400\",\"align\":\"justify\",\"_margin\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"top\":\"-15\",\"right\":\"0\",\"bottom\":\"0\",\"left\":\"0\",\"isLinked\":false}},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"},{\"id\":\"f5f8966\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"image\":{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.sansofestay.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/02\\\/AScenso-ruta-Pico-Cho-Marcial.webp\",\"id\":3290},\"image_size\":\"custom\",\"image_custom_dimension\":{\"width\":\"1200\",\"height\":\"600\"},\"caption\":\"\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"image\"}],\"isInner\":false}],\"isInner\":false},{\"id\":\"dceac38\",\"elType\":\"section\",\"settings\":{\"margin\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"top\":\"30\",\"right\":0,\"bottom\":\"0\",\"left\":0,\"isLinked\":false}},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"5bcb85d\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":100,\"_inline_size\":null},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"3189492\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"title\":\"Difficulty of the Pico Cho Marcial route\",\"title_color\":\"#69775E\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_family\":\"Maven Pro\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":30,\"sizes\":[]},\"typography_font_weight\":\"700\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"heading\"},{\"id\":\"e471e29\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"editor\":\"<p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">This route is not easy or recommended for people without experience in mountain hiking. Although it is not a high-mountain route, the ascent to Pico Cho Marcial presents a considerable positive elevation gain, a substantial length, and irregular terrain that demands attention. <\\\/span><\\\/p><p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Some of the options to reach the summit present an elevation gain of 600 meters, rocky areas, and a steep incline, so you must be in good physical shape and have appropriate equipment.
