Hiking

The route from Santiago del Teide to Chinyero mountain takes you through the natural charms of western Tenerife on one of the routes that deviate from the most frequented circuit on the island. However, the landscape has nothing to envy of the most well-known routes.

During the walk you will find paths through volcanic terrain surrounded by bushes, paths through pine forests, lava scenes and, of course, wonderful views of Teide. This excursion is ideal for spending a full day with the family enjoying nature.

The route is circular from Santiago del Teide, one of the most important towns in the west. Apart from getting here by private vehicle, you can do it on the numerous bus lines that pass through Santiago, both from the north and from the south.

Ideally, you should bring water and food to have one or several picnics during the day, sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun, good footwear and always have your camera at hand. The opportunities to capture unforgettable postcards present themselves at every step.

View of Mount Teide from Reserva Natural Especial del Chinyero

Highlight • Viewpoint

The majestic Teide is present in every part of the island. From this point, between the stone walls of the orchards and the typical vegetation, it rises imposingly towards the sky.

From here begins the circular route of the Chinyero volcano through a landscape of pine trees and lava. The eruption of Chinyero in 1909 was the last volcanic eruption in Tenerife, to date.

View of the Chinyero Volcano

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this point you have, standing slightly elevated on a slope, an excellent overview of the ash cone of the Chinyero and its lava flows. The contrast between the green "Corona Forrestal" and the lava moonscape is particularly impressive here.

The lava formations are impressive, as is the view from the lava tongue over the detached head of the Chinyero to the Teide beyond.

A hike from Santiago del Teide to Montaneta over the lava flows of Chinyero.

Great tour towards Chinyero and all around. The tour offers everything you can find on Tenerife. There are also beautiful partially shaded paths. Good shoes are highly recommended, but not recommended with sneakers, as many paths lead over lava 🌋 and other rocks. You can also see the Teide, except yesterday it was only vaguely visible because the Calima has …
