For those yearning to experience what the Canary Islands resembled not long ago, the Taganana Route is an exceptional choice. Distanced from the hectic rhythm of contemporary life, Taganana remains secluded and largely untouched by modernity. Nestled deep within the steep ravines of the island's oldest mountain range, the path meanders through gorges, revealing stunning cliffs and beaches that were once the haunt of pirates in search of hidden treasures. It ascends all the way to the sub-tropical rainforest at the summits of Las Mercedes. The vistas are truly breathtaking, adorned with vibrant hues, an array of plant and tree species, and delightful mountain villages where electric lighting remained a rare luxury well into the 1990s, making it essential to keep your camera readily available. Taganana stands as a testament to a community that continues to thrive off the land, where pristine, untouched beaches create the perfect backdrop for tales of piracy and smuggling. If possible, we might catch a glimpse of the exquisite Our Lady of the Snows chapel, which dates back to the early 16th century. A visit to a local inn towards the end of the tour is highly recommended, time permitting.
