Trail description

From Garachico, the trail follows the El Lance pathway up to San Juan del Reparo, across tongues of solid lava that create a fascinating landscape. You will reach the village of La Montañeta, where the trail takes you towards the Arenas Negras recreation area and La Montaña de las Flores. Here begins a circular trail around the Chinyero volcano, surrounded by volcanic lapilli, past several centuries-old pine trees, such as the Cha Lorenza pine tree, where a lookout point treats you to a breathtaking view over the south face of the volcano. You will also see several mountains such as La Corredera, Los Poleos and La Cruz along the way, as well as enjoying great panoramic views of El Teide and Pico Viejo on clear days.
