📋No permits required
Roque del Conde, also known as Roque Ichasagua, is an iconic volcanic formation located between Adeje and Arona. Its flat summit makes it unmistakable on the southern horizon of Tenerife. At 1,001 meters high, its ascent is one of the most rewarding hikes for those seeking a challenging but exhilarating experience with unparalleled views. From its summit, you can see the entire south of the island, Mount Teide, the Atlantic Ocean, and, on clear days, the silhouettes of La Gomera, El Hierro, and La Palma.
This place has a rich historical and cultural significance, as Guanche oral tradition links it to Ichasagua, a mencey (king) who resisted the Castilian conquest by taking refuge in this natural fortress. The ascent traverses stony paths, slopes covered in Canarian scrubland, and ancient agricultural terraces that evoke the rural life of centuries past.
The route is ideal for those who wish to combine nature, sport, and history. Although not a technical route, it requires good physical fitness, appropriate footwear, and supplies, as there are no shaded areas or water sources. Reaching the summit is an experience that connects visitors with the volcanic landscape of the south and with the legends that still whisper among its stone walls.
