Coastal path in a nature preserve with ocean views, trees & historic structures.

Scenic hiking trail in a gorge with diverse flora & fauna, plus a waterfall (reservations required).

👍👍 Very easy trail. Kids can go. Full of puddles where you can enjoy a bath. I recommend technical footwear, avoid sports shoes, the hardness of the terrain requires it. Avoid windy days, and wear a sunscreen and a hat, as there is no shade along the entire trail.

Laurel forests, deep ravines & coastal cliffs around a volcanic massif home to rare birds & lizards.

Nature reserve along a flora & fauna-filled slope with dirt trails & dramatic views of the ocean.

Top op the hill filled with noisy telecom machinery and antennas, abandoned buildings. Most of the track was loose rocky surface, hiking shoes is recommended. A...

👍 Unterhalb La Matanza geht der Weg an der Finca Jardin Mariposa vorbei ueber steinige Stufen in Serpentinen etwa 200 Höhenmeter hinunter auf ein Plateau. Das liegt etwa 100 m ueber dem Meer. Wenn man auf dem Plateau angekommen ist, zweigt links ein steiler gefährlicher Pfad hinunter Richtung Meereskl...
