February 12, 2025,Tolle Blicke – Charco del Viento Runde von Santa Catalina

A very beautiful and well-marked circular hiking trail that you should definitely take in this direction. Classified as easy by Komoot, I tend to give it a local classification of moderate difficulty. The coastal path in particular requires a certain level of surefootedness and a head for heights in some places.

But things turned out differently, the stop we had in mind only exists in the opposite direction and so we ended up in Santa Catalina. The problem was that on the …

Today we headed over to the north side for a short coastal hike. Our destination this time was the coastal bay of Charca del Viento. From our starting point, this bay is reached via a road through several banana plantations. This bay is the end of a lava flow from Mount Teide about 180,000 years ago. Continue along the path …
