These green and mystic forests of the Orotava Valley are perfect for silence lovers and mother nature seekers.
Yesterday I went to one of my favorite Yoga places. It is called Barranco Madre del Agua or Canyon Mother of the water. It is a beautiful green forest with misty mountains and fabulous views to the Teide volcano and the sea. The lush forest gives me a feeling of actually being in the womb of the big mother nature. That is why I like to do asanas of introspection and going inwards like child's pose or meditation poses.
Then there are amazing viewpoints where I like to meditate as well and do some standing postures like tree posture. Feeling like one tree more in the forest and merging with it.
Many times the clouds are moving very fast and create a silent and mysterious atmosphere. You can perceive the smallest sound like the flutter of a bird in the bushes. Observing these clouds is a perfect entrance into the world of inner visions and insights.
How to get there
To get there you just take the bus 345 from Puerto de la Cruz up to la Caldera and start walking in direction of Pedro Gil and la Casa del agua. Next to this water house the path is going up. It will take you more or less 2 hours to walk it. Some parts of the way up and down can be quite steep.
