KE Adventure Travel Trip Notes

After breakfast we have a short transfer (40mins) to Igueste where we enjoy another day of spectacular walking in the area of Anaga. The village of Igueste, situated in a dramatic ravine of laurel trees as far as the eye can see, was the legendary home of Tenerife’s most famous pirate Cabeza de Perro “Dog’s Head” The island still tells tales of his countless attacks on ships loaded with treasures from the Caribbean, and with its hidden coves and isolated beaches, you could be straight out of a scene of Pirates of the Caribbean! We are walking on one of the most fertile valleys on Tenerife, an area where mango, avocado and papaya all grow in abundance. After exploring the village we ascend up the valley to the old abandoned hill town of Las Casillas (600m). Located on a spectacular ridge, Las Casillas offers some lovely examples of old rural architecture and superb views of the surrounding valleys. From here we ascend to the ravine of Antequera, where if we are lucky we may spot some Anaga goats along the way as we’re heading down to the beach. Today we will enjoy a wonderful picnic lunch on the beach before boarding a boat back to Santa Cruz, a fitting end to our pirate and secret coves walking day! This evening we will regroup for dinner on our last evening to round off an unforgettable week.
