Montaña de Tindaya
Montaña de Tindaya is a distinctive mountain with steep slopes located near Gran Canaria. The terrain features rocky surfaces and a striking profile that can be seen from many parts of the island.
The mountain played a central role in the spiritual life of pre-Hispanic inhabitants of the islands. This significance persisted through centuries, making it an important archaeological record of ancient beliefs.
The mountain held sacred meaning for the island's original inhabitants, who left rock carvings as evidence of their spiritual practices. These markings reflect how deeply connected ancient people were to this peak and its religious importance.
The hike to the summit requires proper footwear and preparation, as the path is steep and rocky throughout. Plan to arrive early in the day and bring plenty of water and sun protection.
Rock carvings cover the slopes and tell stories of ancient rituals performed on the mountainside. These markings are visible to visitors and create a direct link to a vanished culture.
