Time Travel among Volcanoes
Time Travel among Volcanoes
The route commences at a picturesque woodland chapel. From this point, the route ascends along a path covered with a carpet of pine needles, winding through fayas, giant heather, laurel and Canary Island pines. During the course of our journey, we gain further insight into the volcanic geological history of Tenerife, which continues to exert an influence today. We will be exploring the youngest part of the island, which is the result of two of the last volcanic eruptions: the Trevejo (in 1706) and Chinyero (in 1909) volcanoes. The site is an open-air geological museum, comprising pyroclasts, cones, tunnels, columns and lava flows, all of which are notable for their distinctive shapes. The route offers the opportunity to appreciate the fascinating colours of nature while enjoying spectacular panoramic views. We enjoy our picnic next to a large extinct volcano and drink fresh water from the longest water channel on the island. The final section of the route leads us through a dense mixed forest to a picturesque rural village in the north. Here, we have the opportunity to share photographs over a traditional coffee or a glass of local wine (not included in the price). The experience of walking along paths where lava flows were still burning not so long ago will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression. Wear hiking shoes or trainers with good soles and bring raincoat, hat, sun protection and enough water with you.
