The Roque Nublo, a mystical place used in ancient times for spiritual meetings of the Canary Islanders, the Canari.
The hike begins on the east side of Roque Nublo with stunning views of the neighbouring island of Tenerife and Teide, 3718 m the highest mountain in Spain. We begin the day hiking by walking directly through a small forest of Canarian pines, as we look down on Tejeda and Artenara, the cave village. We continue walking along an ancient "Royal Road", along a variety of herbs and medicinal plants.
When you reach the plateau 1750 m below the Roque Nublo, you will finally see this unique monolith, with its 68 meters up close. You can feel the absolute uniqueness of this place.
After the short picnic, we continue the walk to finish in the town of Ayacata, where we make a short stop for a drink or visit the bathroom.

A beautiful, relaxing hike
We had booked the tour to Roque Nublo. We were picked up by Lukas on time, water and a delicious vegetarian sandwich were included.
The tour itself was easy to handle and by no means too strenuous. We were lucky with the weather and could therefore look up to Teide in Tenerife.
The small and voluntary warm-up training before hiking we found very pleasant.
We particularly liked the easygoing and funny way of Lukas, Manfred and José, and the lot of inside information about Gran Canaria. So there was no boredom at any time during the round trip.
Thank you, we would book again at Hiking World anytime.
