Description
This route runs across the flatter area of Malpaís de Güímar and takes you on a journey back in time through one of the most unique landscapes on the coast of Tenerife.
Along the way you will come across traces of human activity that stand in contrast to the southern sector of this volcanic landscape, which has remained practically untouched since the volcanic eruption that took place more than 10,000 years ago.
As you walk, you will also be able to see how the flora and fauna have adapted to this arid terrain, demonstrating the ecological value of this Special Nature Reserve.
The well signposted route departs from Camino del Socorro and leaves behind the industrial estate to enter the “malpaís” volcanic landscape and ends up connecting with Camino de la Mar at Punta Los Picos.
Tips
- Always stay on the marked trail and do not enter private property, hunting grounds, water galleries, wells or caves.
- Pay special attention when crossing or walking along trails used by bicycles, horses or motor vehicles and when walking in ravines with water courses.
- 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.
- Check out our guide to hiking in Tenerife and, if necessary, contact the emergency services by calling 112.
