Information
This circular Las Vegas South Tenerife hike takes you through one of the most authentic and lesser-known areas in the south of the island. Located in the upper region of Granadilla de Abona, this route combines natural beauty with rich cultural heritage.
Unlike what its name might suggest, Las Vegas here has nothing to do with casinos or bright lights. Instead, it offers a quiet, traditional setting where time seems to have stood still. The only lights you’ll notice are the stars at night, making it a truly unique place to explore.
The hike covers approximately 7.2 km and can be completed in around 2 hours and 30 minutes, making it ideal for those looking for a moderately easy and rewarding walk. The trail is circular, well-marked, and offers a great mix of landscapes, from dry farmland to lush pine forests.
As you walk, you’ll pass through areas shaped by generations of local farmers. The route reveals old water channels, stone ovens, cave dwellings, and traditional agricultural systems that once sustained entire families. It’s not just a hike—it’s a journey into Tenerife’s past.
This trail is perfect for hikers who enjoy combining nature with history and culture, all while avoiding the more crowded routes on the island.
Along the route, you’ll find traces of traditional life, including:
- Cave houses carved into volcanic rock
- Old stone ovens used for drying figs and baking
- Historic water channels and a traditional water mill
These elements reflect how local communities once lived and worked in this area.
Seasonal Tip
Visit in late winter to see almond trees in bloom, adding color to the landscape.
