Cloud Forest of La Orotava Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

The mystical cloud forest of the Orotava Valley is characterized by the moss that hangs like green tinsel in the branches of the trees. It speaks for an extremely high air quality, as the moss only grows when the air is not polluted. Because of the topography of Tenerife there is almost always fog at this altitude, the trees are also called cloud milkers.

Pine Forest Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great mix of beautiful landscapes and panoramic views, shady forest trails and Pinienduft, rugged rocks and hewn in the rock hiking trails.

Narrow Pass with Railing

Highlight • Trail

Small bottleneck around a rock, which is fenced with a railing. Partly also heavily overgrown from the left. Nice place to take some pictures of the view.

Old Levada Water Channels

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

These artificial water channels were used to supply the precious water. Using the natural gradient, these lavadas wind their way over kilometers, several times you can see concrete structures that I assume were dirt or sand separators.

November 6, 2021,Rundwanderung ab La Caldera durchs Orotavatal
Beautiful and demanding high-altitude hike with lots of ups and downs. You should definitely be free from giddiness and surefooted, as the path is very narrow and partly exposed in some places. Some of the ropes at the rope insured areas no longer hang firmly in the rock - the path is hardly maintained.
The descent is very steep, covered …

Very nice route, which often leads along narrow gorges. Concentration and sure-footedness required, you should also be free from giddiness.

Beautiful circular route, which, however, requires sure-footedness.
The path is varied with great views of the Orotava Valley and the sea.

January 14, 2022,La Orotava -Los Organos
We did this tour in super great weather with very nice views down the coast and to Teide with its snow cap. We had to pass a very narrow passage (where the safety rope had torn from two anchors). Surefootedness is absolutely necessary here.
The descent with its stairs over stairs was powerful on the knees.
All in all a …

On the beach the question - short sundowner? The look up promised lots of clouds, almost didn't go off because visibility - well. Just no view. But after 600m ascent we should be rewarded with a great view. The clouds below us, the view clear, the sun on our face once more. Mega tour. Recommendation in the evening: clockwise, towards …

Bus 345 to the end -> then hike in the direction of the organ pipes and turn right shortly before, up to get to the cloud forest over the organ pipes 😎

One of the most beautiful hiking tours in Tenerife🤩. The steep slopes are densely forested by mighty pine trees, long tresses hang down mystically. The many huge eucalyptus trees were also impressive on the descent 👌🏼.

After we hadn't walked as much as planned yesterday, there should be the first serious hike today. But it was quite warm, so shade was a must - the Orotava forest is the ideal option! There is some shade here, and often there is also the fog, which is responsible for the lush green in this region.
When we got …
