Description
This volcanic route in Tenerife takes you through breathtaking landscapes full of history, lava, and nature. We'll start our excursion in the northwest of the island on a beautiful path that first leads us through fields and light forests. Little by little, we'll dive into the fragrant Canarian pine forest and leisurely climb up to the Chinyero volcano, the volcano that experienced the last documented eruption in Tenerife in 1909. The path leads through young, black lava fields, where the forces of nature can be seen in all their glory. Along the way, we'll discover fascinating volcanic formations that remind us of the island's recent geological past. Then we'll head to the Arenas Negras volcano, whose massive lava flows almost destroyed the coastal town of Garachico in 1706. On the way back, we'll hike over dark volcanic soil and enjoy the contrast between the black earth, the green of the pine forest, and the blue of the sky.
