Walking tours in Tenerife

 

Walking tours to El Teide National Park

 

     Elevation: +175m / -175m 

Teide National Park is one of Spain's many national parks and a UNESCO world heritage site. The park is home to the Teide, the highest mountain in Spain. The park offers many walking trails and routes for hikers of all levels. One of the most popular trails is around Roques de Garcia, which takes you through lava flows and volcanic formations. The trail is also a great place to see the flora and fauna of the park and fabulous views. You may even encounter some of the park's unique species, such as the Tenerife lizard

It is an easy hiking tour with plenty of stops along the way to take in the spectacular views.

 

 

Walking tours to Anaga rural park & La Laguna

 

La Laguna is probably the most beautiful town in Tenerife and its historical center is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town is known for its farmer's market where you can find local delicacies such as Almogrote, spiced goat's cheese, etc. Visiting a market like this is a true way to get a taste of local culture.

After La Laguna, the hiking tour brings you to the Oldest Part of Tenerife, into the Anaga Mountains.

Anaga Rural Park is declared a Reserve of the Biosphere, home of rich endemic fauna and flora. It is a natural treasure of the island due to its landscapes and hiking trails crossing laurel forests. The Anaga massif is probably one of the wettest areas in Spain with an average rainfall of 2.500 liters per square meter yearly. 

 

 

Walking tours to Camino Real

 

 

The Camino Real route is a remarkable trek flaunting amazing panoramas of the peak of El Teide Volcano. Given the rough nature of Tenerife’s terrain, many of the roads began life simply as Caminos Vecinales ( farm roads), the paths that crossed private farmland wide enough just for single-file horses or mules. Today all these paths are called Caminos Reales.

During this hiking tour, you will crosse a unique natural landscape, with a view of the Teide. The tour starts from the mountain village of Santiago del Teide and ends at the coast of Los Gigantes. It is a great, mostly downhill walk in the west part of the island, with fantastic views of Los Gigantes from high above.

 

Moderate hiking tours 

The most common of all hiking levels of difficulty

 

Masca Gorge hiking tour

The guided hike begins in the stunning Masca Village Center, located at an altitude of 650 meters above sea level. From there, it gradually descends towards sea level. Along the way, you'll get to see an old dam, various water channels built into the ravine, and breathtaking views of the valley.

Unfortunately, there will be no boats to pick up hikers at the beach for the foreseeable future, so if you're planning on doing the hike, you must be prepared to climb back up. However, this hike is definitely worth it for anyone who loves nature and wants to explore one of Tenerife's most beautiful and mysterious places.

Hiking enthusiasts will find the valley in the Teno mountains, to be one of the most beautiful routes on the entire island.

 

 

Altos de Guajara hiking tour

 

This hiking tour takes you through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Teide National Park, with sweeping vistas of the ocean and the nearby islands like La Gomea and La Palma.

The trail can be quite challenging in places, but it's well worth the effort for the incredible views. Altos de Guajara is a trail recommended for those who are looking for something more challenging than a regular hike but still find the Top of El Teide too difficult. This hike leads up to the third highest peak of the National Park of El Teide, till 2715m. From there, without a doubt, you will get the best view of the top of El Teide.

 

Challenging or Strenuous hikes for active hikers

 

Climbing to the Top of El Teide at night

 

Climbing Mount Teide at night is an especially magical experience, made all the more special by watching the sunrise from 3,718 meters above sea level.

But what makes this experience truly unique is observing the world's largest cone-shaped shadow cast by the mountain.

With a professional guide to help you navigate the terrain and interpret the sights, this hiking tour becomes a learning experience where the nature, history, and geology of the area come alive. 

It is a real personal challenge, but the reward is great and the overtaking of oneself gives an unforgettable satisfaction.

This is by far the best hiking experience you can have on the island of eternal spring. 

 

 

Climbing to Pico Viejo - the old peak

 

Pico Viejo, also known as Montaña Chahorra, is the second-highest mountain in Tenerife and the Canary Islands. This guided tour starts at La Rambleta and leads to the summit of the volcano, passing fascinating points of interest along the way such as Las Cañadas caldera and its different layers of magma, the famous Corbata del Teide ("Tie of Mount Teide"), arms of lava and finally the viewpoint. If weather permits, from the summit point of Pico Viejo, you will have a stunning view of the island of Tenerife.

Pico Viejo is considered the small brother of Pico del Teide (the highest peak in Spain) and is a must-see for any nature lover or adventurer.

The hiking tour is often overlooked by travelers who are eager to stand atop Spain's tallest mountain, but those who have climbed it rate this hike as more impressive than the climb to the summit of Teide itself. This hike is less crowded and has the added advantage of not requiring any special permits. If you're looking for an unforgettable hiking experience with panoramic views and beautiful landscapes then add this hike to your itinerary.
