<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to hike, have a great view and a bit of adventure, then the hike to the rock gate El Bujero is just right for you. There are several ways to reach El Bujero. Today I present a 7 km round tour from Tamaimo, for which you should plan about 4 hours with a stay in the rock gate. If you feel like a longer hike, you can start in Los Gigantes. There are two big alternative tours. But whichever tour you choose, from the rock gate El Bujero you have a fantastic view over almost the entire southwest coast of Tenerife, La Gomera and the Teno Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Bujero is not the only rock gate in Tenerife. Especially when hiking in the Teno Mountains you will discover these impressive rock formations many times. But what makes the rock gate El Bujero so special? On the one hand it is visible from afar. You can see it lying down from the coast high up in the Teno rocks. From down there it looks like a very small hole in the rock. You won’t see how big and mighty it really is until you stand inside it. On the other hand, the rock gate lies far outside on a mountain ridge towards the Atlantic Ocean. Both sides are open and offer fantastic views in almost all directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock Gate – El Bujero – The eye<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Deep down lies the Atlantic Ocean and the town of Los Gigantes with its harbour. On the other side there are wonderful views over the Barranco Seco to its beach, where the Barranco Seco and the Barranco Natero meet. The neighbouring island of La Gomera lies outside in the Atlantic Ocean. To the south there is a wide view of the southwest coast of Tenerife. El Bujero is called the rock gate by the Spanish people. Locals also call it the eye or simply the hole. Whatever the right name, El Bujero has always been a popular hiking destination. But not everyone knows how to get there. Hiking trails lead nearby, but not directly to the rock gate. And since the entrance is really very hidden and not very easy to find, you have to either ask local insiders or read carefully here.<\/p>\n\n\n
