@inwardora: The Salto del Pastor is a unique technique that allowed shepherds to navigate steep volcanic cliffs by jumping with the help of a long pole The tradition is linked to the Guanches, the indigenous people of the islands, who are believed to have Amazigh roots More than a survival skill, it’s a remarkable example of human adaptation : an ingenious method developed specifically for the Canary Islands’ rugged mountainous landscape 🌋✨ It shows how people turn extreme environments into something navigable through skill, balance, and adaptation #canaryislands #salto #parkour #travel #hiddenhistory
