Barranco De Las Vegas

This walk is not too difficult and although the first hour is all uphill on an at times very stony path, it is a short route. Starting from the sleepy hamlet of Las Vegas, it follows stony tracks and paths into the Barranco de Las Vegas. The countryside is extremely peaceful and the only sounds you are likely to hear will be the cry of buzzards wheeling high above the barranco and the sound of your own breath as you puff and pant up the hills. The barranco itself is scenically impressive and on clear days the views are superb with excellent views to Guajara, the coast, Gran Canaria and into the barranco itself. As this is a fairly short route, you can take your time just enjoying the peace and solitude of the walk.   Distance 6.5k - 2.5 hours Only 2 euros

Three Peaks

Climb three very different volcanic peaks in the south of the island

ZyWeb

Roque del Conde
This impressive 1,000mtr,  table-top mountain dominates the scenery from the southern resorts of PDLA and Los Cristianos. The route leaves from the pretty plaza in Arona and begins the ascent path from the tiny, tradtional Canarian hamlet of Vento. The impressive Barranco del Rey (ravine) is crossed before the old donkey trail is followed to the summit plateau. From the summit, there are spectacular views to the coast, the Teno Mountains in the west and on clear day, Mt. Teide, Spain's highest mountain can be seen towering over the island. Distance: 6.5 k -  Duration 3 hours

ZyWeb

Roqué de Jama, 
at 760 metres above sea level, looms over Valle San Lorenzo like some huge prehistoric monster. Visible from the southern resorts, this walk is an excellent mountain excursion that can be fitted into a half-day as an antidote for those desperate to escape the sun, sea and sangria of the coast for a short spell. The walk leaves the high street in Valle San Lorenzo and initially follows steep, rural roads before leaving the tarmac for the climb to the summitThe going up to the summit is often very steep and tricky and the path difficult to find. The exposure on the summit will not suit vertigo sufferers. Distance: 6k -  Duration: 2hours 40 mins

ZyWeb

 Montaña Colorada
Starting from the village of Cruz de Tea this is a walk of two halves, the first being a long, steep climb to the summit of the red volcanic cone of Montaña Colorada, which  is not visible from the start of the climb on the TF-21 but is slowly revealed as the walk progresses. The second half of the walk is an easy downhill stroll through terraced orchards and along a remote country road back to Cruz de Tea. Initially steep, as the route leaves the road on a sometimes tricky path of loose red soil and stones below Montana Rica, the walk then enters pines and on a clear day there are superb views to Gran Canaria and the south coastal plain. As the summit comes more clearly into view, spectacular views of the high mountains and the mountain village of Vilaflor are revealed. Distance: 8.5k - Duration: 3.5 hours. 

All three walks for only 4 euros

The Deserted Village
 
This is a walk full of interest passing through three villages and three impressive barrancos. The near deserted village of Las Fuentes is a stark reminder of the huge changes that have occurred in Tenerife over the last few decades, particularly in the south of the island. The village is a remote and decaying relic from a bygone era; the upper part is made up of mostly derelict remains of traditional Canarian houses, cut off by a lack of access and a move away from traditional lifestyles. Some houses in the lower part of the village are still intact and apparently inhabited but the atmosphere is one of melancholy and decline. Of the three barrancos crossed, the most impressive is the Barranco de Erques but the Barrancos de Guaria and del Pozo are also very attractive examples. Distance: 9.5k  - Duration: 3 hours 45 mins Only 2 euros
