Trekking: Tejeda & Ventana del Nublo

A walk through the clouds of symbolism

According to Baudelaire , the poet is capable of deciphering "the forest of symbols". in which we live, the "confusing words"that surround us, and to establish these relations, or correspondences, between perfumes, colours and sounds.

We propose you to be a symbolist poet for a day and find these "correspondences" while you walk along the summits of Gran Canaria and contemplate the magnificent sea of clouds. What are you waiting for to book this senda and cross to the other side "reader, my fellow man, my brother..."? ? (To continue with Baudelaire's words).

The tour in 7 moments

• Departure from the according hotel. We will meet at the scheduled meeting point to start the tour.
• Small groups. The groups of this activity will always be reduced (from 2 to 8 people). In this way we guarantee that the experience will be more personal and intense for all.
• Road to the summit. We will walk through Barranco de los Albarianes and Las Niñas dam to head towards Ayacata where we will make a brief stop.
• Arrival at Pico de las Nieves. Arriving at Pico de las Nieves, one of the highest areas of the island of Gran Canaria, we will be able to enjoy the wonderful views of the summit.

At the same time, our guide will interpret the landscape and tell us details of the area and the local culture. In addition, from this point we will have a bird's eye view of the route we are about to follow.

• Hiking from Los Llanos de la Pez. When we arrive at Los Llanos we will start walking along a very nice path under the shade of the Canarian pines. During the journey we will visit Tejeda basin with its impressive and typical “sea of clouds”.
• Visit to the Ventana del Nublo. We will continue ascending until we reach Ventana del Nublo, a spectacular rock formation with amazing views of the two most important rocks of the island: Roque Nublo, symbol of Gran Canaria, and Roque Bentayga, a place of worship of the aborigines who inhabited the island before the conquest.
• Picnic in the Ventana del Nublo. There, in addition to observing the landscape, we can rest and take a snack consisting of an energetic bar or fruit and an isotonic drink.
