The Valley of Lombadas, which has been declared a nature reserve, is a fascinating, rather savage and untouched landscape with mineral water springs and luxuriant vegetation. It is also departure point for one of the island’s most spectacular walks, leading for about 4 hours on a marked track round the valley up the 880 m high peak of Monte Escuro through a deserted dazzling wilderness where endemic vegetation grows in abundance. Reaching the top of the peak, all your efforts are rewarded with breathtaking views across the inaccessible wilderness of this valley with its rough beauty.
