Ruta del Agua – Interesting facts about water<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On this 8-kilometre hike, as the name Ruta del Agua suggests, you will learn a lot about water and water extraction on Tenerife and in La Guancha. On many different walks that I have published on Seven Islands, I have already told you a lot about water extraction on Tenerife through galleries (tunnels driven into the mountains). So you know (at least as a reader of Seven Islands) that in some places you can also walk through these tunnels and over water channels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s hike, on the other hand, is very moderate. A leisurely round to enjoy with lots of interesting information. The Ruta del Agua leads you from the Galer\u00eda El Pinalete in a large circular walk around La Guancha past many interesting places that have to do with water extraction. You will pass galleries, closed tunnels, open and covered water channels. Because the hiking tour is well signposted, you will also learn a lot of interesting facts about water extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ruta del Agua – Hiking around La Guancha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But regardless of the diverse information about the water in La Guancha, which covers 7% of Tenerife’s water supply, this round on the Ruta del Agua around La Guancha offers you a lot more. You walk through a varied landscape such as pine forest, fields, gardens, small ravines and also through the small colourful village itself. If you hike at the right time, you can pick figs, almonds or blackberries along the way. In any case, you should combine your tour around La Guancha with a visit to the nice little village. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It lies at an altitude of 500 metres and takes its name from a pretty indigenous woman (the Guanches, the Guanchin, La Guancha). Today’s inhabitants, whose forests no longer extend down to the coast as they once did, live mainly from agriculture and small-scale industry. You can get a first impression of the town on the circular walk, which starts in the district of El Pinalete in La Guancha and later leads you back through the town to the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
