Hiking in Tenerife with children (or without): 7 short routes
Activities: We walked through the Malpais de Güimar, which reminded us of Lanzarote. The path led us over red and black volcanic pebbles. The return path along the coast led through a completely vegetation-free area with black lava rocks whose bizarre shapes stimulate the imagination
Highlights: The children enjoyed the bizarre shapes of the black lava rocks. We did not go over the mountain, we went straight to the coast. It was not without dangers for small children, because it goes over sharp-edged lava blocks in places ✨
