1Trilha de Misterios Negros
The Mistérios Negros trail is a hiking route that offers a unique experience due to its rich natural and geological features. The name “Mistérios Negros” (Black Mysteries) comes from the solidified lava formations, known as “mistérios”, which were created by relatively recent volcanic eruptions (in geological terms) and still contrast sharply with the lush surrounding vegetation.
