The officers provided initial assistance to the woman, who had no identification or mobile phone. After assessing her condition, steps were taken to determine her identity and locate her accommodation.
The tourist was subsequently transferred to her lodging, ensuring her safety during the journey. This incident has prompted the General Body of the Canary Islands Police to reiterate the importance of basic preventive measures before undertaking hiking or excursions in natural environments.
“"It is essential to inform family and friends of the itinerary and estimated time of the route, as well as to carry identification and a fully charged mobile phone."
Furthermore, the importance of carrying appropriate equipment is emphasized, including sufficient water for the entire journey, sun protection, and footwear suitable for the terrain's characteristics.
