TENERIFE - Climb the Mount Guajara, the Teide sister
Today our driver will take you to the south face of Las Cañadas del Teide, where Mount Guajara is waiting for you to climb. Montaña Guajara rises to 2,718 metres and is in no way inferior to its big brother, Pico del Teide. It is undoubtedly the best vantage point from which to contemplate Spain's highest peak and enjoy the incomparable views of the expanse of Las Cañadas and the entire archipelago. A grandiose and unforgettable experience: on your ascent you will pass historic lava formations as well as a multitude of flowering tajinastes in spring. The route is a circular one that starts and ends at the Parador Nacional de Las Cañadas.
Early morning transfer to Los Rodeos Airport for a 40-minute local flight to the island of El Hierro.
On arrival in El Hierro, a taxi will pick you up to take you to San Andrés, a farming village located high up in the central part of the island. There begins an impressive 4-hour hiking route through the beautiful Meseta de Nisdafe, crossing the "Tierra que Suena", to the Mirador de Jinama. The descent to the valley of El Golfo offers a lush, leafy landscape with spectacular views. In the past, it was the usual route of the farmers on their traditional "Mudadas" and today it allows us to discover the impressive diversity of landscapes on the island of El Hierro. As you start the descent from the Mirador de Jinama towards Frontera, you will plunge into the "Monteverde" along an ancestral path that ends at the Iglesia de La Candelaria, in Tigaday, in the heart of the valley of El Golfo.
Today the Ruta de Los Carboneros takes you from your accommodation in Tigaday, walking along a path in permanent ascent until you reach the edge of the semi crater that forms the whole of El Golfo (1,350 metres above sea level). From there, a magnificent view opens up over the entire valley of Frontera, as well as the neighbouring islands of La Palma, La Gomera and Tenerife.
Once you have reached the summit, you begin a gradual descent through impressive, magical-looking laurel forests. It was in these forests that the island's old charcoal burners used to come to get the wood they needed to produce charcoal.
On the descent to the south, the huge laurels will be left behind to give way to splendid Canary Island pine forests. The sunny village of El Pinar, on the southern slopes of El Hierro, marks the end of this stage in which you will cross the summit of El Hierro from north to south.
Your route today starts from your accommodation in the direction of the sea. You walk through a gentle, open country landscape in an area famous for the production of bananas, pineapples, mangoes and other tropical fruits. The trail takes you first to the "Eco Museum of Guinea" and its "Lagartarium". There you'll get an insight into the lifestyle of the island's ancient settlers, and the recovery of the El Hierro Giant Lizard, an endangered endemic species.
Then the trail continues to "Punta Grande", a beautiful enclave by the sea, where the smallest hotel in the world is located (just 4 rooms), according to the Guinness Book of Records. From there, the path continues along the small cliffs of "Las Puntas" until you reach the natural pools of La Maceta, where you can take a refreshing dip in the sea.
The Ruta del Meridiano starts in the famous savin forests of El Hierro. A 40-minute drive takes you to the Ermita de Los Reyes and shortly after you will reach the well-known trees of impossible shapes that the relentless wind has shaped.
The Ermita de Los Reyes is the most important place of worship for the people of El Hierro. The Patron Saint of the island motivates a secular procession four years later of great popularity throughout the population: the Bajada de La Virgen (Descent of the Virgin.
The path descends towards the Orchilla Lighthouse, crossing enclosures where cattle graze in absolute freedom. The route ends in an exotic volcanic landscape in the extreme southwest, also known as the Zero Meridian. Mapped by Ptolemy in antiquity, it was considered the westernmost point of the known world. And it is here that today you will find the Orchilla Lighthouse and the surprising Cueva del Acantilado. A route that will reveal the enormous variety of landscapes of this tiny island, with multiple types of vegetation, contrasting colours and peculiar cultural features.
Possible extension of your stay on El Hierro or transfer on your own to the airport from Valverde.
