January 19, 2023,[422] Teneriffa: Unterwegs im Naturreservat Malpais de Güimar | Runde von Puertito de Güimar 🌦 2🥾 ☕️🍰

Due to the weather conditions we decided to hike along the coast today. The Malpais de Güimar nature reserve is ideal for this. 10,000 years ago lava came out of a fissure in the earth. This area is now the nature reserve. The center is the 276 m high Montana Grande. The path first leads beautifully along the sea before …

Thanks to positive reports from komoot users and because we were looking for alternatives due to the weather, we were able to acclimatize perfectly - hiking in the Malpais de Guimar for the first time!
Puertito de Guimar offers plenty of free parking. It is then worth climbing the small caldera of Montaña Grande - the ascent is in lava …

Nice tour, we started at the bus stop (111) on the highway. From there down to the beach and through the lava fields. It's easy to walk - everything is very safe. Then back along the mountainside with great views. After a coffee break in Puertito de Güimar back to the bus stop.🙂🙃

Today we were in the Malpais de Güimar National Park. First we hiked to the Montaña Grande volcanic cone. It is impressive to see how the flora is making use of this part of the lava rock and is spreading more and more. At the edge of the volcano the wind was extremely strong and we had to be careful …
