Path to the waterfalls

Highlight • Trail

You have to climb the last meters. Today it was difficult, as the boots from the mud were slick and the rocks were rinsed by the water.

I recommend going first thing in the morning because from 10:00 in the morning a lot of people start to come to the route and, honestly, when the route is best it is listening to the sound of the water in the background and the birds 🍃👌🌱🌿💦🌾🧘‍ ♂️🐤🦅🕊

Tip: wear a raincoat so that the humidity of the humid bioclimate does not penetrate your body in case you stay for a while to enjoy nature.

A really exciting path

Highlight • Trail

It is a very nice tour to the waterfall and it is very fun. The vegetation tunnels along the stream are incredible.

Prickly Pear Cactus Landscape

Highlight • Natural

If you don't want to hike all the way back through the Turmfalkenschlucht, you should take this detour. The way uphill is already a highlight and on the plateau there is a cactus landscape from another planet.

Nice hike! Not worth the hikes on the Levadas of Madeira Island, not very far (which I recommend). Good for a warm-up and to do preferably in the morning ... no parking, a little hard to park

The green gorge of the kestrel, in the Barranco de los Cernicalos. Very nice circuit, a lot of green, surprisingly a lot of water.
Nowhere else in Gran Canaria does water flow in a stream all year round as in this Barranco.
Sturdy shoes are essential!

The original hike was not possible. Farmers secured their gardens with locked gates and the marking privado. We had to walk back to the right end on the map, so you could also leave it out.

a very nice tour, great vegetation, very varied. The way back through the cacti was a bit adventurous 😅, but the foresight was all the more beautiful🏝.

Today was a strange day. First rain in the morning (except for a few drizzle showers) for the first time in almost two weeks. It was rather humid all day. So we started very late and only wanted to do an easy tour. The rather short tour in the valley of the kestrels (with quite a few meters of altitude) …

The tour suddenly ends in front of a locked gate, be careful not to leave the main road, see photos, that's really stupid.

Very nice tour through partly stony paths, high reeds, you often cross the small river, on the way there are always shady passages - it's worth it 😎👍🏼
You can easily park your car at the point marked B, the first part up to the gorge is not officially marked as a hiking trail, but it is easy to find …
