IronfootHikes

Jose Manuel Piedehierro

My name is José Manuel, and I was born and raised in Tenerife. I am a certified mountain guide (TD1) and the founder of Iron Foot Hikes — a name that comes directly from my surname, Piedehierro, which translates to “Iron Foot”. Growing up on this island gave me something no guidebook can offer: a deep connection to its landscapes, traditions and history. Before creating Iron Foot Hikes, I worked in tourism both in the Canary Islands and abroad. Those experiences helped me understand what international travelers truly value — authenticity, safety and meaningful connection. Today, I combine professional mountain training with local knowledge to guide small groups (maximum 8 people) through Tenerife’s most iconic landscapes. My goal is not simply to show you the island, but to help you understand it — its geology, its culture, and the relationship between people and territory. Each experience is designed with respect for the environment and a commitment to responsible tourism. If you are looking for a deeper, more personal way to explore Tenerife, I look forward to welcoming you.
