We had to cut our hike short after about two-thirds of the way and were able to reach the other side of the gorge via a narrow path. It had rained heavily in the days leading up to it. The stream was very high, and in some places, the elevated path had disappeared due to a landslide. Nevertheless, it was absolutely worth seeing what was down there. ...

The bridge is wide enough, but the road is very narrow in some places. And large buses use it.

The fertile Barranco Guiniguada is one of the longest valleys on the island. It stretches 22 km from the mountains in the center to the old town of Las Palmas. The hiking trail leads through gorges with subtropical plants, past small farms and villages whose houses climb up the slopes.

Beautiful jungle path, here you walk alone

From Las Palmas you can drive wonderfully across this gorge to the botanical garden. Didn't have much trouble with a borrowed hardtail. This gorge is somehow exciting, nature, urban, partly very dirty slopes and ruins. But it gets wilder and wilder out of town. I recommend a long stop in the botanical garden (free entry) and then on to Pico de Bandama.

A beautiful, fertile and green valley with laurel trees, eucalyptus trees etc. You can explore the valley on various hiking trails. The signs are quite good (and quite new) - we really liked the many signs and information boards along the way, where hikers can find out more about the valley, highlights and flora/fauna in different languages. Top !

On the way through the Barranco there are two places where sturdy ropes are attached as climbing aids, which are very helpful. You can easily pass the places in both directions, provided you are sure-footed, of course. Adventurous, but easy to master. In the Barranco you can sometimes get wet shoes/feet, depending on the weather and the water level, but it is usually not really deep. Stones and tree trunks are good help in most places and are welcome.

Very beautiful, idyllic Barranco. Here you follow the course of the stream through the Barranco on adventurous paths, crossing it again and again. Including small climbing insoles... Sturdy shoes are important!
