The path runs directly along the rock band and will then lead you through a side valley up to the El Laurelillo plateau and into the nature reserve. On SiebenInseln, I have already described a<a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/en\/gran-canaria-en\/gran-canaria-inagua\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> hiking circuit in the Inagua Nature Reserve<\/a>. On Gran Canaria there are more than 30 nature reserves with a total area of 66,707 hectares. The large Inagua Nature Reserve, covering 3,920 hectares and bordering the municipalities of Tejeda, Mog\u00e1n and Aldea, has the highest level of protection.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gran Canaria Degollada de la Aldea Hike\" width=\"697\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f2RDkEi_gU8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a protected area for a variety of endemic animal and plant species. In the Inagua, those interested will find geological and geomorphological features that provide clues to the formation of the Canary Island of Gran Canaria. There are also archaeological sites of cave villages of the ancient Canarians. Stone circles and small stone towers have been found there, which may be connected with religious or astronomical activities. Places of worship and burial sites are also suspected in the Inagua on Gran Canaria.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5208-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5208-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Descent route from the El Laurelillo plateau with fantastic views\" class=\"wp-image-34511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5208-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5208-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5208-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5208-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5208-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5208-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5208-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Circular Hike Degollada de la Aldea<\/strong><br><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this hike not only takes you up to the Inagua Nature Reserve, it also brings you always close to the escarpment edge back towards Aldea.

You cross the road and cannot miss the small signposted path leading up the slope. Below you on the right runs the road to Mog\u00e1n. You walk uphill and reach a small plateau after a short time. There the hiking path changes to the other side of the slope. Now you see the road to Aldea below you. The hiking path, which runs towards the steep wall, forks after a while. You take the left option. There you are immediately below the large rock wall towering steeply into the sky.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5196-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5196-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Ascent path above the Degollada de la Aldea along the rocky ridge\" class=\"wp-image-34522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5196-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5196-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5196-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5196-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5196-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5196-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5196-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The path continues further below and along the rock wall. It is rocky and from time to time you have to climb over some large boulders. It follows the rock recesses and already from here offers you very beautiful views of the wide valley over Aldea below you. After just under half an hour, the path leads over rock slabs. Small cairns mark the path across the rock slabs. Simply keep diagonally uphill across the rock platform. At the end the hiking path continues clearly again.<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\/11\/IMG_3719-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3719-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Hike below the rock face with magnificent views\" class=\"wp-image-34514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3719-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3719-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3719-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3719-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3719-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Section Rock Slabs Below the Wall to the El Laurelillo Plateau<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you have walked across the small rock platform, the path continues for some time along the rock wall and its recesses. A few times you must also watch your head and duck a little on the path, as the rocks protrude into the way. After a while you reach a small side gorge (Barranco de los Almacigos). Here the hiking path now continues to the right. It ascends steeply in small switchbacks \u2013 sometimes also with a bit of scrambling \u2013 parallel to the gorge. You walk past pine trees and impressively large boulders.<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\/11\/IMG_3710-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3710-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"A little scrambling in Barranco de los Almacigos - ascent path to the plateau\" class=\"wp-image-34524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3710-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3710-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3710-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3710-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3710-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hiking path continues to ascend northwards. Finally, after some scrambling, the path becomes less steep and the terrain becomes somewhat flatter overall. For the last \u201cmetres\u201d you have two possibilities. Turning left, you climb more comfortably but longer to the plateau. More quickly, but steeply over rocks, you climb straight up. In both options it is no longer far, and you ascend the last metres to the El Laurelillo plateau. From the Degollada de la Aldea you have now already left 320 metres of altitude behind you. You are rewarded for the effort with wonderful views.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5201-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5201-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Individual rocks and pine trees on the ascent path just before the plateau\" class=\"wp-image-34525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5201-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5201-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5201-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5201-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5201-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5201-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5201-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Section El Laurelillo Plateau to the End of the White Plateau<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you have enjoyed the beautiful view on the plateau, follow the signposting to the left towards Aldea de San Nicol\u00e1s. The initially wide dirt track leads you along the ridge with wonderful views slowly downhill. You walk below the Lomo del Viso and the Viso, which rises beside you to 996 metres. Finally, the dirt track ends and becomes a hiking path, which now brings you down more steeply.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5205-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5205-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"View from the El Laurelillo plateau\" class=\"wp-image-34518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5205-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5205-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5205-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5205-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5205-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5205-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5205-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First you walk across a wide plateau with scattered pine trees. Then you reach an exposed viewpoint from which you can overlook the entire area. Afterwards, steep switchbacks lead down to another plateau with white rock, which you can already see very well from afar. Before you leave this imposing plateau to the left, you pass another viewpoint. Deep below you, you can now see Aldea de San Nicol\u00e1s increasingly clearly.<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\/11\/IMG_5212-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Descent route below the rock face towards Aldea de San Nicol\u00e1s\" class=\"wp-image-34509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5212-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5212-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5212-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5212-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5212-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5212-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5212-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Section End of the White Plateau to the End of the Village El Hoyo<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A steep descent then follows between the rugged rock walls. In switchbacks with impressive views, the route continues along the SL-1 past the Cueva del Mediod\u00eda. You walk along the rock wall and finally below it on the descending path. At approx. 500 metres altitude, the path then turns further downhill towards the west. Out of interest, we made a small detour to the left here, as the Aldea Trail Run was signposted along that route (November 2025). But the main path goes straight down. Next to a water collecting basin, the steep path finally joins the GR-139, which here is a wide dirt track.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1857\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5206-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Descent path via Aldea de San Nicol\u00e1s\" class=\"wp-image-34506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5206-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5206-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5206-1024x743.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5206-768x557.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5206-1536x1114.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5206-2048x1486.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There you are at the charmingly designed Mirador del Canal. You now follow this wide dirt track to the left. After a short time, you pass the next viewpoint, the Mirador La Sabinilla. Walking is easy here, but the long dirt track stretches on for quite a while before you reach the small hamlet of El Hoyo (approx. nearly 2 kilometres). There the dirt track joins the Calle el Hoyo, which you follow through El Hoyo to the left. The road finally meets the GC-200, which you cross. Opposite, the hiking path continues on the Calle las Vistillas. You follow this road uphill through the village. At the end of the village, the actual hiking path (GR-139) begins again.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5213-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1930\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5213-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"at the Mirador de Canal\" class=\"wp-image-34507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5213-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5213-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5213-1024x772.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5213-768x579.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5213-1536x1158.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5213-2048x1544.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Section End of the Village El Hoyo to Degollada de la Aldea<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From here you encounter only a few isolated houses. The ascent becomes steep \u2013 sometimes also in switchbacks \u2013 back towards the Degollada de la Aldea. The hiking path climbs on the left side of the Barranco Tocodom\u00e1n (Barranco de los Almacigos) below the GC-200. Initially, the ascent in the wide valley is still quite moderate. You also pass some isolated farmsteads.<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\/11\/IMG_5215-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"View from the ascent path through the Barranco Tocodom\u00e1n\" class=\"wp-image-34505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5215-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5215-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5215-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5215-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5215-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5215-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/leo-reuter.de\/siebeninseln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_5215-640x480.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the closer you get to the Degollada de la Aldea, the steeper the ascent becomes.
