Laurel Forest Trail, Anaga Rural Park

Highlight • Forest

The mystical jungle in the Anaga Mountains lets you imagine yourself in fantasy worlds á la Lord of the Rings without any problems. The gnarled, tangled trees, the meandering paths and the constant interplay of light, shadow and fog create a very special atmosphere. Definitely one of the scenic highlights of Tenerife.

Zapata Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful vantage point, which is located directly on the beautiful circular route and when visibility is good, the Teide can also be seen on the horizon.

Narrow Forest Path (Vía de Paso)

Highlight • Trail

The path is very narrow and low because the plants have overgrown a lot.

The Bosque de los Enigmas is one of the easiest and most recommended hiking trails in the Anaga region. This lesser-known route winds through the dense laurel forest, creating an atmosphere of mystery that lives up to its name. The name is no coincidence: the fog, the gnarled trees, and the silence, broken only by birdsong, invite you to lose …

A beautiful hike.
Experiencing nature is not only a visual experience, the earthy and herbal smell is also wonderful.

Quiet walk without difficulty. Follow the red markers. Circuit recommended by the park but a little monotonous.

Constantly leaving the tour by announcement leads to frustration and raises doubts about the quality of the app. Constantly looking at the …

This hike wasn't really worth it. There was hardly anything spectacular and you walk parallel to the road a lot.

As Calima was forecast for today, we drove to the Anaga Mountains. A wise decision, as everything was cloudy up there and we could walk without sweating. We went on the tour in the opposite direction to the one indicated, which is highly recommended as it avoids the steep climb up the rock steps! Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good enough …
