Hiking & nature routes

From laurel cloud-forests to Mars-like volcanic plains, Tenerife is a hiker's paradise. Ten of the island's most beautiful walks.

Masca Gorge

Teno

Iconic 5km descent through dramatic basalt walls to a black-sand cove. Reservation required.

Cruz del Carmen

Easy laurisilva forest loop — suitable for families, signposted in three lengths.

Teide National Park

3.5km flat loop past the iconic Roque Cinchado — best at sunrise to avoid crowds.

Adeje

Booked nature reserve walk through the deepest ravine in the south, ending at a waterfall.

Vilaflor

13km loop through eroded pumice formations — surreal, otherworldly scenery.

Buenavista

Sea cliffs, lighthouse and views to La Gomera. Bus-only access protects the area.

Santiago del Teide

Tenerife's youngest volcano (1909). 6km easy trail through black lava and pine forest.

Anaga Rural Park

Spectacular ridgeline walk between cloud forest and the ocean — both coasts in sight.

Anaga

Steep cobbled descent from cloud forest to the fishing village of Taganana.

Adeje highlands

Less-trodden 9km loop with wide ocean panoramas and pre-Hispanic shepherd caves.
