Description

The last northern laurel forests are like a jungle from primitive times and are found in the Doramas Natural Park. Our hike kicks off with a descent through a gorge densely covered with undergrowth, then through fairytale landscapes, with fantastic views from the Valle de la Virgen, through the Vuelta del Camello to the Zumacal gorge, where we'll take a break for lunch. We'll walk, admire, and enjoy the views of a unique world of endemic plants below us and then start the ascent after the picnic. Through a deep and lush gorge with huge eucalyptus trees, we'll walk along lemon and orange groves at the end of the trail. In winter, you can also pick blackberries. One of the most beautiful walks in the Canary Islands. Unforgettable and unique, for the first time in our hiking program.
