Valleseco

Valleseco is located in the centre-north of Gran Canaria. It is made up of two main ravines, Barranco de la Virgen and Barranco de Madrelagua, and a central, drier valley, giving the municipality its paradoxical name. At an altitude of 1,000m above sea level, Valleseco is often enveloped in a “sea of clouds”, which gives it its distinctive deep green landscape. A visit to the local Ethnographic Museum is another must.

Ruta de la Plata

This walk is done along a path used by animals and by the ancient settlers of Gran Canaria to take their animals in search of the best grazing each season. Thanks to the improvements made by a wealthy landlord at the end of the XIX century, the islanders were able to overcome geographic impediments at the summits which took them southwards at a time when road transport was non-existent. With time the route was improved for walkers and pilgrims.

Barranco de Masca

Located in the northeast corner of the island of Tenerife, within the municipality of Buenavista del Norte, the Masca ravine goes through one of the oldest areas of the Canary Islands, in fact, it has seven million years of history. It is a ravine embedded in a stretch with vertical walls on either side which goes on until it reaches sea level at a small jetty. The trek is not very long but the incline and the difficulty of the terrain make it a demanding walk. Remember to wear suitable clothing and footwear and take food.

Camino de Los Gracioseros

This trekking route goes along the path that inhabitants of La Graciosa took to go back and forth to Lanzarote. This four kilometre route of average to high difficulty, depending on whether it is uphill or downhill, goes along the cliffs of Famara, in the north, with the island of La Graciosa across the Río. The trek along volcanic rocks is somewhat slippery at times and ends at sea level. As a reward after the hike, a swim in the blue waters of the Río is a must.
