Malpaís de Güímar

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

The Spanish word Malpaís means "wasteland" in German, but that doesn't really matter. A Malpaís is a special, volcanic landscape: here you can still clearly see the original lava flows and an incredible number of pioneer plants grow between the rocks.

Medium-length route, but very beautiful. Interesting vegetation and lava fields.

Very interesting area and the volcanic rock is so diverse. Automatically my thoughts wandered to La Palma.

Leisurely walk, also ideal for (with) children.
Highest point a little over 100 m, most of which takes place at about 13 m above sea level.
Yes, nothing spectacular but a nice change and always great views of the sea. Don't be put off by the amount of rubbish when entering the parking lot, it's only like that there. Just …

It's manageable, but definitely not for people who aren't good on their feet. It's very uneven in places, there's a lot of rubble and deep sand. Shoes with a sturdy sole are important.

A very nice and diverse tour. You should have a hat and water as there are no shady areas. Beautiful landscape and inspiring views of the sea.
