Hiking
This is a section of the Ruta del Agua in which you will cross red dirt roads, dense forests and even a narrow ravine. The Water Route was created to value the Garoé Tree and its surroundings, where you can directly observe the effect of "horizontal rain" by which low clouds cannot rise in height because there is a mass of warm air above and end up condensing in the vegetation.

Super hiking trail over red earth, with gorges to walk in, through the mossy fairytale forest

One of the most beautiful tourist roads on the island. Varied, full of surprises. I loved every moment of it.
