A magnificent hiking tour through the ever changing and bizarre volcanic landscape of the Las Cañadas region of the Teide National Park where we also discover the ancient Guanche “Tagoro” meeting circles of yesteryear.
The walk starts on pleasant terrain through desert like landscape where magnificent vistas of Mount Teide abound.
After an hour we have a steep climb (the only one on this hike), up the impressive Arenas Negras (black sands) followed by easy walking where fantastic views of Mount Teide come into view once more.
After lunch there is a short rough section until we join a wheelchair friendly footpath which leads onto a great mountain path that circumnavigates the old volcano called Guamaso.
This section on a clear day gives fantastic views of the Orotava Valley and Anaga beyond, and also the island of La Palma in the opposite direction. We finish with a quick burst on easy paths back to the vehicle.
