Inagua Natural Reserve Hike

High volcanic walls and one of the best-preserved pine forests in Gran Canaria take centre stage on this hiking route through the Inagua Natural Reserve.

Hike Details

At 8 am, we'll meet at Avenida San Nicolás in La Aldea de San Nicolás. There, we'll take a taxi for a 20-minute drive to Degollada de Tasarte. From this point, we will hike through the Inagua Natural Reserve, exploring the high walls of the ancient volcano that formed Gran Canaria, approximately 14.5 million years ago.

We will enter the Inagua Natural Reserve, featuring one of the best-preserved natural pine forests on the island. This area is rich in fascinating biodiversity and serves as a refuge for birds, including the blue chaffinch, blue tits, and woodpeckers.

On the trekking route, we will reach an altitude of 1000 metres (3280 feet) and enjoy views of the massifs of western Gran Canaria and the Caldera de Tejeda. On clear days, the island of Tenerife and the silhouette of Teide may also be visible.

As we descend back to La Aldea de San Nicolás, we will discuss the native peoples of the Canary Islands, the Guanches, and their way of life.

We will return to the starting point around 2 pm, concluding the activity.
