Canary Islands 2013 |
|
| For about eight days, we escaped the cold and rainy autumn in Germany and flew to the Canary Islands. Together with a friend from Munich, we undertook many activities on land an on the water. On La Palma, we hiked through the Caldera de Taburiente and parts of Los Tilos. We did mountain biking along the route of volcanos and visited the Roque de los Muchachos for a spectacular view. On Tenerife, we hiked down the El Teide and the Barranco de Masca. Those are strenious but spectacular hikes that are unrivaled in the world for their sheer scenery. Other activities included horseback riding, flyboarding, jet skiing, kayaking, quad driving and we even did a underwater dive with a submarine. We spent some time in Puerto de la Cruz and the nearby Cueva del Viento, which is a rare lava tube cave. |
