Hiking the Lomo El Centeno: Tenerife's Wild Heart

Embark on a captivating 5-hour hiking adventure through Lomo El Centeno in Candelaria, Tenerife.

As you traverse this landscape, you'll encounter the island's endemic flora and fauna, a true natural treasure. As Jon Krakauer might note, the specific conditions here foster a biodiversity rarely seen elsewhere, a testament to Tenerife's volcanic origins and isolation. Feel the crisp mountain air on your skin as you ascend, a sensory detail reminiscent of Robert Macfarlane's vivid descriptions of wild places. This experience, designed for nature enthusiasts, requires only comfortable hiking gear and a desire to connect with the island's wild heart. Gather your companions – a minimum of two and a maximum of twenty – and prepare for an authentic exploration of Tenerife's natural beauty, guided by local expertise.
