Hike and History: Los Cerni-calos Valley and Charming Telde
Enjoy a relaxing hike along a nature trail before stepping back in time with a visit to Telde Old Town. This Las Palmas tour is suitable for novice hikers and is ideal for people who want to enjoy the scenery and learn about the region's history.
Your day begins with a three hour hike into the lush green El Cernicalo Valley. Follow the babbling stream that keeps the region green, enjoy the peaceful sounds, and view several small waterfalls as you hike toward the center of the island. Once you reach the largest waterfall of the valley, you'll return back up the same path. This hike through the protected forest will allow you to see many plants endemic to the region.
After the nature hike, take a walking tour of Telde Old Town. Telde may be one of the largest cities in the Canary Islands, but once you enter Telde Old Town, you'll be transported back in time. Get a feel for the way life once was in the quiet streets and squares of this little village. There are several historically significant sites to visit in Telde Old Town, including San Juan's Church, dating back to 1483, and the San Juan and San Francisco districts.
