My favorite Hikes in Tenerife
Millennial LAUREL Forest
Trees full of lichens, giant ferns and moss. An easy, enjoyable and botanically interesting hike through a millions of years old ecosystem with impressive views of deep ravines, ancient volcanoes and the tropical coast. A living fossil from the Tertiary age and home to numerous endemic plants and animals.
TOP TOUR Masca
Demanding and high-contrast uphill and downhill hike through lush vegetation. Breathtaking panoramic views over the islands of La Palma and La Gomera. Relax in one of the most picturesque mountain villages in the Canary Islands, famous for its traditional architecture. This is NOT the hike through the Masca Gorge!
RURAL Valley WALK
Easy ascent through farming terraces and scattered villages where locals live. Enjoy an embroidered landscape of ancient volcanoes, steep ravines and subtropical fog forest. After a picnic break, you can taste our typical coffee specialty or wine, in one of the island’s least known rural locations in absolute serenity.
Shepherds path
The trail follows an old shepherd’s path used by the former inhabitants and farmers. You walk around the edges of an ancient crater, cross a giant heather forest, overcome a mountain of medium difficulty and arrive at one of the most remote places in Tenerife with optional cheese and wine tasting.
Lighthouse walk
Natural Wonder Isla Baja
Hike on the geological traces of ancient volcanic eruptions where erosion has shaped an impressive silhouette of craters and chimneys. Learn how the water supply works in this rural area. Enjoy wonderful views of the coastlines while descending a deep ravine alongside abandoned caves and ruined houses.
volcanic route
Geological panoramic hike to Tenerife’s youngest volcanoes: Trevejo, that buried Garachico village in 1706, Chinyero, erupted last in 1909. A recent volcanic landscape characterized by green pine forests, volcanic cones and deep black lava mass. Unique colour plays of nature make this tour so special.
Lost paradise
This tour is like a journey to the tertiary era: the Anaga Biosphere Reserve. Small hamlets and cave houses surrounded by a thousand-year-old forest will delight you. Discover this little paradise with its hospitable locals and take a break in a typical village where you can feel the Canarian way of life.
teno highlights
Ancient mountain trail full of contrasts where you see the most outstanding points of interest of the Teno Rural Park. Fascinating route through lush vegetation, impressive ravines and rock formations. Magnificent views of the surrounding valleys and the beautiful neighbouring islands of La Gomera and La Palma.

Welch eine Leidenschaft und Motivation Sergio an den Tag bringt, ist erstaunlich und bewundernswert. Er weiβ alles zur Geschichte, Fauna und Flora und hat auch nebenbei immer einen Tipp. Durch ihn lernt man die Insel durch die Augen eines Einheimischen kennen und lieben.
Un gran profesional, excelente interpretación durante el transcurso de las rutas, una enciclopedia con dos piernas y sobre todo gran persona.
