Here, in the area of Fontanales, Valsendero and the Barranco del Agua, the climate is shaped by moist trade wind clouds, which lead to lush vegetation and water-rich valleys. Dense forests, deeply cut gorges and scattered hamlets characterise this quiet, rural region. Especially in the winter months and spring, the landscape here appears in a rich green \u2013 a real contrast to the barren regions in the south.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1148-scaled-1.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1148-scaled-1.webp\" alt=\"In the green north of Gran Canaria \u2013 the Barranco Agua\" class=\"wp-image-33923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1148-scaled-1.webp 1080w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1148-scaled-1-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1148-scaled-1-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1148-scaled-1-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1148-scaled-1-640x480.webp 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The small village of Valsendero, a district of the municipality of Valleseco, lies nestled between slopes with chestnut trees and terraced fields. Fontanales, too, from where many hikes begin, exudes rural charm and offers a good entry point into the well-developed network of trails in the region. I have already presented several hikes from Fontanales on SiebenInseln (see under Variants). The Barranco del Agua, which cuts deeply through the landscape, is aptly named: especially in the wetter seasons, water flows here, and mosses and ferns thrive on the shady slopes. This circular hike combines all these scenic features into a varied tour through the quiet interior of the island.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1020-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"The hiking trail appears somewhat mystical when the sky is overcast above the gorges\" class=\"wp-image-33878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1020-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1020-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1020-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1020-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1020-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1020-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1020-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Circular Hike Valsendero \u2013 through Gorges, Fields and Forests near Fontanales<\/strong><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This varied circular hike begins and ends in the small village of Fontanales and first leads down into the green Barranco del Agua via paths and small roads. The trail continues through dense vegetation and past water-bearing spots to Valsendero, which lies idyllically in the midst of chestnut groves. After a brief passage through the village, the route gradually climbs and leads back towards Fontanales over scenic ridges and fields. Especially in spring or after rainfall, nature shows itself here in an especially lush way.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1050-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1050-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"View from the hiking trail to Fontanales\" class=\"wp-image-33880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1050-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1050-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1050-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1050-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1050-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1050-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1050-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We did the hike on a grey and overcast day. Although the distant views were somewhat limited as a result, the tour had a charm of its own \u2013 with moss-covered trees, damp soil and an almost mystical atmosphere in the Barranco. Many of the photos in the article therefore reflect the typical weather of the island\u2019s north.

After a while, you will see an old galer\u00eda (water gallery) above you, which you ascend to.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/photo-14395_singular_display_fullPicture-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/photo-14395_singular_display_fullPicture-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Hiking trail in Barranco del Agua shortly after Pozo de Solana (background)\" class=\"wp-image-33882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/photo-14395_singular_display_fullPicture-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/photo-14395_singular_display_fullPicture-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/photo-14395_singular_display_fullPicture-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/photo-14395_singular_display_fullPicture-1535x2048.jpeg 1535w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/photo-14395_singular_display_fullPicture-scaled.jpeg 1919w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Route Section Barranco del Agua (Galer\u00eda) to Pozo Aquavia II<\/strong><br><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the galer\u00eda, you cross the Barranco and, by the galer\u00eda, join a solid forest road again. You can follow the wide switchbacks further uphill or take shortcuts straight up. However, these shortcuts are not recommended in heavy rain due to the risk of slipping. At one of the switchbacks, a trail branches off inconspicuously to the right (<a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/gran-canaria-en\/cuevas-de-caballero-hike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hike Cuevas de Caballero<\/a>). However, you continue along the switchbacks and reach a wide forest track at the top. Follow this to the left.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1024-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1024-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Galer\u00eda in Barranco Agua on the hiking trail to Valsendero\" class=\"wp-image-33868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1024-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1024-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1024-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1024-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1024-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1024-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1024-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continue a bit higher through the forest on the forest track, and soon you will reach the highest point of your hike. Shortly afterwards, descend in wide switchbacks with beautiful views over the vast green landscape and small hamlets. At the bottom, turn right at the junction. Ignore all branching paths. At the next major junction, keep right again. At yet another fork, turn right again in the direction of Valsendero. You descend on a rough forest road through wooded terrain. After a while, you pass the Pozo Aquavia II on your left.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1025-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1900\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1025-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Hiking trail past Pozo Aquavia II\" class=\"wp-image-33894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1025-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1025-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1025-1024x760.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1025-768x570.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1025-1536x1140.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1025-2048x1520.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Route Section Pozo Aquavia II to Trail Junction Valsendero<\/strong><br><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From here, the route is unmistakable. Simply continue downhill along the forest road and ignore all branching paths. I once even drove this route by car. Due to the uneven surface, even with a four-wheel drive it remained a one-off attempt. However, the path is well-suited for hiking. You descend quickly and reach the road Lugar Valsendero, which you follow further. Soon you arrive at the first houses of Valsendero. You can continue along the road or take the hiking trail as a shortcut on the right past the houses.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1034-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1034-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Hiking trail through Valsendero\" class=\"wp-image-33898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1034-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1034-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1034-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1034-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1034-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1034-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_1034-640x480.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both routes come together again.

The path to Valleseco branches off to the right, while you continue straight along the GC-305 through the village. This is also a good opportunity to take a look at the village in peace. After the last houses of Valsendero, continue a little further along the GC-305. Then two paths branch off uphill to the left.

If there aren\u2019t too many clouds, you can enjoy magnificent views from the steep ascent. The path first leads you along rocks and fences and later uphill through forested terrain. Almost at the top, you reach a road near houses, which you follow to the right uphill.
