HOW TO MOVE IN THE AREA
The close location of the house to the forest and forest tracks (Aguamansa, La Caldera, ...) makes this accommodation a perfect place for athletes, hikers, cyclists ... Here are some routes in the area:
                                                                                                    
PR-TF-35. 3. Path Llano de los Corrales - Pinolere.
You will find this derivation on the Mamio track, at the height of Llano de Los Corrales, 4.7 kilometers from the La Caldera Recreation Area. It is another option to get closer to the core of Pinolere passing through Barranco del Infierno and elements of ethnographic interest, such as traditional barns and water galleries.
Distance: 2.7 km Duration: 1h 30m.

Road to Candelaria: from Aguamansa to the Montaña de la Crucita.
The road to Candelaria is an old pilgrim trail that links Aguamansa with Candelaria. This trail offers magnificent views over the Valley of La Orotava. Through the immense pine forests, above Aguamansa and the lava slopes, we climb towards the Dorsal Summit. We started our route at the Aguamansa fish farm at an altitude of 1,000 meters. Along an eroded path, we ascend the first section by comfortable forest tracks, to connect with narrow roads carved in the lava, through which we will reach the Mirador de La Crucita, located on the TF-24 road.

Camino de Rosa Peña.
The roads of Pinolere (La Orotava) were traveled, in the not too distant past, to look for firewood, pick pine needles, or make a pilgrimage to the municipality of Candelaria. Today, some of these roads are part of a circular hiking route of 5 km distance and medium difficulty, which has its beginning in Los Cuatro Cantillos (Pinolere).
The ascent section, consisting of the old Camino de Mamio and the Camino de Rosa Peña, transits between cultivated areas of potatoes and fruit trees, crosses the Barranco del Infierno and ascends between species of laurisilva and pine forest. The return section descends between chestnut trees and old pines, along the Camino de Candelaria or El Camino "Viejo", as the residents of Pinolere call it.

Rural road by Cruz del Dornajito.
It is a comfortable itinerary, circular and of low difficulty, ideal to take contact with the natural environment. On the way out, we went through the rest area Cruz del Dornajito, a place with history that was considered the entrance to Monteverde. The kicking passes in good part by forest tracks, ways and trails until arriving at the Cross of the Dornajito, source that celebrated the naturalist Mr. Edems in his ascension to Teide in 1715 to include it in his chronicle as a hole in which clear water falls from the mountains. Alexander von Humboldt, said that it was the only source that could be found on the path to the volcano.
