Your tour begins in the mountain town of Firgas, the Village of Water. Visit a historic water mill once used to produce gofio, a flour unique to the Canary Islands. While in Firgas, you'll also view a monument dedicated to all the island's towns. Leaving Firgas, follow a spring as you walk along a canyon. This path will expose you to various plant life endemic to the region, including trees from the Laurisilva forest. The Laurisilva forest features trees unique to the macaronesian region.

At the bottom of the valley, you'll find the ruins of an old thermal hotel established by Europeans searching the valley for medicinal waters. These ruins give the valley a ghostly feel and are one of the main attractions of the Azuaje Valley. As your hike concludes, enjoy a taste of the region with a Tapas lunch at a local restaurant.
