Description
This trail is part of the pilgrimage route associated with Our Lady of Candelaria, a way steeped in tradition, culture and spirituality that has connected San Cristóbal de La Laguna with the Marian shrine in Candelaria since the 16th century.
This section of the route begins in Plaza de Gabriel Cruz in Llano del Moro, in the municipality of El Rosario, and heads southeast along Camino del Convento.
Along the way, the trail crosses through Machado and reaches the Church of San José in Barranco Hondo. From there, it continues towards the ravine named Barranco de Siete Fuentes until it reaches the Igueste Viewpoint, where it descends to the end point of the route in Igueste de Candelaria.
This stretch of the trail takes you through a landscape brimming with history, with spectacular views of the Güímar Valley and, on clear days, much of the south of the island. It is the perfect route if you are looking to combine nature, tradition and heritage in a single experience.
Tips
- Always stay on the marked trail and do not enter private property, hunting grounds, water galleries, wells or caves.
