EL HIERRO: El Golfo, Mirador de Bascos and Orchilla Lighthouse
The most spectacular walks between Tenerife and El Hierro
The Canary Islands are a paradise for hiking enthusiasts, with a wide variety of routes for all levels of experience. Tenerife and El Hierro are two of the most popular hiking islands, offering some of the most spectacular routes in the archipelago.
Tenerife is a volcanic island with a wide variety of landscapes, which makes it an ideal destination for hiking enthusiasts. The island has more than 600 kilometres of signposted trails, which run from the high peaks of Mount Teide to the beaches of the south.
Teide is the highest point in Spain and one of the most popular destinations for hikers in Tenerife. The ascent to Teide is a physical challenge, but the views from the top are well worth it. The most popular trail to Teide starts at the cable car station of La Rambleta.
El Parque Rural de Anaga is a subtropical forest in the northeast of the island. The park has a wide variety of trails, ranging from laurel forests to black sand beaches.
The Lunar Landscape is a unique and surprising place located in the Corona Forestal Natural Park, on the border with the Teide National Park. It is characterised by its rock formations of volcanic origin, which give it an appearance similar to the surface of the moon.
This landscape was formed millions of years ago, when the island of Tenerife was subject to intense volcanic activity. The lava flows cooled and solidified rapidly, giving rise to these peculiar rocky forms.
The island of El Hierro is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts, with a wide variety of routes for all levels of experience. The island has more than 200 kilometres of signposted trails, running from high volcanic peaks to black sand beaches.
Pico de Malpaso is the highest point on the island and offers breathtaking views of the island and the Atlantic Ocean. The trail leading to the summit is 7 kilometres round trip and is of medium difficulty.
The Garoé Walk is a 10.6-kilometre route that runs through the El Golfo Valley, home to the Árbol de Garoé, an ancient sacred tree that fed on the moisture in the air. The trail also passes by the Mirador de Jinama, with panoramic views of the island.
The Carbonerastrail is
a 13.7 kilometre walk that runs through the fayal-brezal forest of El Hierro.
the fayal-brezal forest of El Hierro. The trail passes by old charcoal ovens, witnesses to the coal mining activity that took place on the island in the past.
The Mirador de Bascos walk is a circular tour starting in the town of Frontera and climbs up to the Mirador de Bascos viewpoint, with panoramic views of the north coast of El Hierro. The trail also passes through the Cueva del Caracol, a natural geological formation.
The Sendero de la Costa is a 15-kilometre route along the coast of El Hierro. The trail offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and passes beaches, cliffs and picturesque villages.
Pick-up at the airport and transfer to the hotel in San Cristobal de La Laguna. On arrival at the hotel you will receive the necessary documents. We also offer you a video call to discuss the details of this programme.

Day 2
TENERIFE ▸Anaga: Through the pristine north
Our driver will take you to the remote village of Afur, the starting point of this impressive route towards the rugged coast in the north of Tenerife.
Gradually, the path descends along the edge of the gorge to the sea and opens up a marvellous panorama with the blue sea in the background. The vegetation now appears as scrubland, very different from the beginning of the route.
The path reaches Tamadite beach and climbs again towards El Chorro through deserted terraces. Once in Taganana, the path heads south again, past La Cumbrecilla and back to Afur, from where we can return by bus (line 076) at 14:35 or 17:30.

Day 3
TENERIFE ▸ Taborno - Pico del Inglés - Santa Cruz
Today we discover the opposite side of Anaga, on a sunny descent to the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
The bus (bus line 275) takes us to the hamlet of Taborno. From there we ascend to the Pico del Inglés (altitude 990 metres) and then begin a long descent towards the southern slope, in the direction of Valleseco.
With spectacular views of Mount Teide, the path follows old paths as it descends, showing the most populated side of Tenerife, with the bustling port of Santa Cruz as its finish line.
A route full of contrasts that allows us to enjoy both the rural atmosphere and the more cosmopolitan side of the island of Tenerife.

Day 4
EL HIERRO ▸ El Golfo: the Lagartario and Punta Larga
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 the Lagartario and the Ecomuseo de Guinea, which are a must to understand the native fauna and the lifestyle of the island's first settlers. The Lagartario is a centre for the preservation and recovery of the giant lizard of El Hierro, in serious danger of extinction in the past and now fully recovered in the Roques de Salmor. The Ecomuseum of Guinea reflects the way of life of the primitive Spanish settlers after the occupation of the island, in their hard rural chores.
The route to Las Puntas is easy and follows the coastline after the visit to the Lagartario. It is a gentle descent between inhabited areas and mango and banana plantations. Las Puntas is home to the smallest hotel in the world, according to Guinness World Records. A primitive jetty next to the hotel facilitates bathing for the more daring. The bar-restaurant offers a fantastic chill-out atmosphere with spectacular views of the bay.
The path continues along the coast from Las Puntas to the natural pools of La Maceta. With a genuinely popular atmosphere, these busy natural pools offer unbeatable options for a final refreshing dip. At the agreed time, a taxi will pick you up to take you back to your hotel.

Day 5
EL HIERRO ▸ The Jinama Way
Also known as the "Ruta de las Mudadas", not because of the absence of spoken language but because of the changes of residence that peasants made in the past on a temporary basis (they moved from one side of the island to the other using this route).
From San Andrés, the path heads towards the cliff of El Golfo on a gentle ascent through green meadows. Leaving the Ermita de La Caridad behind, the path zigzags along the cliff in a long descent through a leafy path towards Frontera.
In the final stretch, a few houses appear next to plots of farmland, with the peculiar shape of the Ermita de La Candelaria in front of you. After leaving Frontera, the path leads to the village of Los Llanillos, where the next accommodation is located.

Day 6
EL HIERRO ▸ The Carboneras Route
A deep dive into the lush laurel forests of El Hierro. Starting from Hoya del Pino, the trail climbs up to the Pico del Malpaso through a vast and dense Monteverde until it reaches the summit.
From the top of Malpaso (1,502 metres above sea level) on clear days you can enjoy spectacular views of the island of La Palma and Pico del Teide on Tenerife.
The path follows the route to the summit, beginning a slow descent that takes us to the Ermita de San Salvador hermitage. Here begins a zigzagging path that descends steeply until it reaches Frontera, the most representative locality of El Golfo.

Day 7
EL HIERRO ▸ Prime Meridian Path
The Prime Meridian Path starts at Mirador del Lomo Negro, after a short transfer. Shortly 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 pilgrimage for the people of El Hierro. The Patron Saint of the island motivates a secular procession every four years: 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 Prime 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.
