Chinyero Volcano Hiking Tour

Chinyero Volcano Hiking Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Plaza de la Libertad in Garachico. After introductions, we will take a minibus to the Arenas Negras Recreational Area, where we will begin the hiking route to the Chinyero volcano.

The hike will last approximately 4 hours, exploring the Chinyero Special Nature Reserve. During the route, we will discuss the volcanic site and the discovery of the Canary Islands, including the eruption of Chinyero in 1909 and its impact on Tenerife and neighboring areas. The Teide, the highest peak in Spain, will be visible throughout most of the hike.

While hiking, participants can enjoy fresh air and take photos of the solidified lava flows in the volcanic reserve. The contrast between the black earth of the Trevejo and Chinyero volcanoes and the green of the Canary Island pines is notable.

There will be rest stops to enjoy the natural scenery. After completing the trek, we will return to the vehicle, concluding the activity about 6 hours after departure.
