Montaña de las Tierras

In the municipality of Ingenio on the island of Gran Canaria you will find a wonderful natural environment called: Montaña de las Tierras which is a spectacular dark reddish volcanic rock that emerges from the deep ravine of Guayadeque and joins the towns of Agüim and Ingenio.

The Mountain of the Earths in the Ingenio stand out about 150 meters and more than 1000 meters above sea level. This natural landscape not only attracts the attention of visitors and tourists, but is also the object of study by scientists for the magma varieties that emerged.

The vicinity of the Mountain of the Earths is surrounded by the Barranco de Guayadeque that keeps an unpublished history since it starts in the Caldera de los Marteles until the end in Ingenio, on the beach of Burrero. It keeps a wide vegetation, with springs of water that from the beginning of the XX century do not arise. The ravine hosted an important aboriginal settlement and later shepherds were established.

The Mountain of the Earths and all its surroundings is an impressive natural place, rich in flora and native fauna and ideal to enjoy days in the middle of nature.
