Hike to the highest point on the island

The hiking trail begins near the Jandía golf course and initially runs through an area characterised by old pastures and the occasional goat enclosure. Gradually, the view opens up to a rugged yet fascinating landscape with extraordinary rock formations and the island's typical vegetation.

The route follows a well-marked track that winds gently through cactus fields, small ravines (barrancos) and past old cisterns and a traditional goat watering trough - silent testimonies to the agricultural culture of the region.

Once at the top, a spectacular panorama opens up over the unspoilt beaches of Cofete and the endless Atlantic Ocean.

The way back follows the same route and finally leads back to the starting point near the golf course.
