Description
This trail is part of the pilgrimage route associated with the Virgin of Candelaria, a path rich in tradition, culture, and spirituality that has connected San Cristóbal de La Laguna with the sanctuary in the Marian town of Candelaria since the 16th century.
This section of the route begins at Plaza de Gabriel Cruz in Llano del Moro, in the municipality of El Rosario, and heads southeast along the Camino del Convento.
Along the way, the trail passes through Machado and reaches the Church of San José in the village of Barranco Hondo. From there, it continues toward the Barranco de Siete Fuentes and arrives at the Igueste Viewpoint (Mirador de Igueste), from where it descends to the final point of the route in Igueste de Candelaria.
This stretch of the trail immerses you in a landscape full of history, offering spectacular views of the Güímar Valley and, on clear days, even much of the southern part of the island. It is the perfect route if you're looking to combine nature, tradition, and heritage in a single experience.
Tips

- Avoid direct encounters with potentially dangerous animals, such as livestock, beehives, and dogs.
- Proceed with caution and watch for obstacles, loose rocks, uneven terrain or steep slopes to avoid accidents and falls.
