Hiking in Tenerife video - Montaña Colorada

Hiking in Tenerife video - Montaña Colorada. This walk started from the Las Lajas recreation and camping area on the Teide road around 7,000ft above sea level. The route initially followed the marked trail to the town of Adeje as it headed towards Montaña Colorada. The next landmark was the ruins of the Casa de Teresme, where I paused for a break as the cloud slowly began building up. I then crossed a number of barrancos (ravines) and in the first of these I passed the Galeria El Rosario (water mine) before climbing steeply out and heading towards the prominent Alto de Chimoche. After crossing the Barranco del Agua and Barranco del Rey, I descended via Guayero to Ifonche before finishing in the town of Arona. The whole walk was 13.5 miles/21.7 kilometres and took 7.25 hours, passing through some quiet, spectacular countryside, although some of the far reaching views to the coast were spoilt by the haze.
