These curious white and ocher stone walls that appear on the path announce that we are approaching the Lunar Landscape of Tenerife. Quite a show!

May 17, 2023,🇪🇦 - Teneriffa :: Wanderung zum Paisaje Lunar 17.05.2023

While clouds dominate on the coast, the hope was that the sun would have the upper hand at the top of the Corona Forestal. For a long time there was a desire to hike the lunar landscape of Paisaje Lunar. 😃
If not today, then when. Already in Vilaflor the sun slowly broke the cloud cover at 14°C. The first …

We were on the road from Vilaflor, we started at about 1300m difference in altitude, the streets in the village are quite narrow, so we parked on the main road. The entire path consists mainly of slabs of slate, not always on a plan. Uphill it was challenging, but it was worth it. But the way back over the uneven …

80% in the sun, in our opinion, not worth it. The "fairytale moon landscape" can only be properly viewed if you leave the official paths. If you still want to do the circular route, you should skip the first 2 km (Camino Chasna) and coming from the TF 21 from Vilaflor, at KM 66, turn left, turn right onto the …
