    The Spanish word Malpaís means "wasteland" in German, but that doesn't really matter. A Malpaís is a special, volcanic landscape: here you can still clearly see the original lava flows and an incredible number of pioneer plants grow between the rocks.

      This small circular hike starts and ends on the coast in Puertito de Güímar. It goes through a beautiful coastal landscape with views of volcanoes, lava fields, mountains and the Atlantic - the path is about 80% gravel/rock, the rest sand.

      There is only a small elevation gain on this hike and the paths are well laid out. So it really is a hike for everyone.

      Malpaís de Güímar has been a special nature reserve since 1987. There are many underground lava tubes here. The Malpaís is of great ecological importance because the mild climate in this volcanic landscape and the coastal region means you can admire many endemic plant species there: various types of spurge, lettuce, broom and sea lavender as well as numerous types of lichen.

        Great area with some information boards explaining the origins and life in the past.

        There is no shade, so make sure you have sun protection!
