Towering rock walls over 100 meters high, formed from ancient lava flows, create a powerful setting ideal for adventure sports. The route winds through natural rock formations that shelter native flora such as the Canarian pine and yellow broom, while the dry scent of volcanic soil drifts on the wind.

The Experience Over 4 to 5 hours, you’ll complete a ferrata route that combines rock climbing on volcanic cliffs, exploration of ancient Guanche caves, and a 50-meter zip line descent. Feel the rough texture of the rock under your hands and the cool air inside the caves, as your guide shares insights into local geology and indigenous culture. The natural sounds of the ravine and the calls of local birds accompany every step, creating a deeply immersive atmosphere.
