Early start at 5:55 by being woken with some spanish only anouncement on the ferry.

Bus to my starting point at Punta Mujeres.

First sightseeing stop: Jameos del Agua

Natural lava flow caves, transformed by César Manrique during the 60ies and 70ies into a weird mix of romantic kitsch and something like a japanese stone garden, with a little bit of a James Bond location feeling.

Second sightseeing stop: Cueva de los Verdes

Also this a 3000 year old lava tube, but kept a lot more natural – except for path and lighting.

Third sightseeing stop: Mirador del Rio

Panoramic viewpoint, designed also by César Manrique. First impression – Hobbit’s home, but really beautiful and simple 60ies details!

And in total approximately 21km and at least 450m ascent hiked today.
