Guatiza Montaña Calderetas is a hike through the foothills of a series of ancient volcanoes. The walk has a couple of short, but steep sections. The path however is not always easy to find. The climb to the volcanic rim affords stunning views to the coast and out over the fertile valley floor.
The walk can be combined with a visit to the Cactus Garden, which has a small restaurant. For a touch of authentic village life however I recommend a visit to Bar Bulin near the centre of the village.

Guatiza Montaña Calderetas
Did you know that Guatiza isn’t where it used to be and isn’t what it used to be called, intrigued? I have a small write up in the History section if you’d like to know more. The website Historia de Teguise has a lot of additional information about Guatiza and its history.
There are a number of walks in the Guatiza area. Mostly starting from either the Cactus Garden or the Petrol Station on the outskirts of the village. From the Cactus Garden you can make very easy walks only 1 – 2 hours looping into Mala. Also a circular walk around the base of Montaña Calderetas, no hills and dirt roads all the way.
From the Petrol Station there are a host of flat, circular walks of varying length taking in sections of the costal path.
