The island of Tenerife has a great variety of forms of the Canarian relief, covered also with vegetation from different climatic regions. It is enough to go from the north to the south of the island and vice versa to, in a short time reach subtropical beaches, the snow-capped peaks of Mount Teide, to see laurels and pine forests. That's why in all of it you can practice a sport as active as trekking. The most interesting places for athletes and tourists are the Teno Rural Park in the northwest of Tenerife and the Anaga Rural Park in the northeast. Equally attractive is the Teide National Park, famous throughout Europe.
Do you want to see impressive cliffs over 500 meters high, waterfalls and deep gorges, such as the Masca ravine? Go to the Teno Natural Park. However, do not forget to book another day of hiking to the Anaga Rural Park, whose majestic tertiary forest will not leave you indifferent.
Do you want to go even higher? We invite you to the Teide National Park, some 19 thousand hectares of pure volcanic origin that houses the highest peak in Spain, with 3718 m of altitude.
The Teide volcano is located in the center of a deep ancient crater. Geologists believe that once the volcano reached 5 thousand meters, but after the process of a strong eruption and the subsequent destructive effect of erosion, its size decreased. Thus it is considered that the walls of the crater are part of a large ancient volcano. It is here where many vestiges of eruptions are preserved. You can see whole pieces of pumice stone, lava of colors and even find obsidian crystals. Due to the smell of sulfur emanating from the bowels of the earth, we are not allowed to forget that the Teide is an active but dormant volcano.
To live a unique experience, we recommend you to crown the highest point. For this, the most convenient way is to take the cable car to an altitude of 3550 m above sea level. Then, start a walk to the top to find some views that you will hardly forget. However, to reach the top you must get a special permit! But don’t worry, we take care of it for you.
In addition, lovers of climbing and spelunking can enjoy the volcanic caves, some of which can be visited even without experience, and ravine descents, an activity that can be done in the surroundings.
The Teide National Park is a beautiful place all year round. In autumn or winter, you may enjoy the snow; in summer, the red earth becomes scorching; and at the beginning of spring, water appears and ‘retamas’ and ‘tajinastes’ flowers bloom.
Without a doubt, in Tenerife you will not be left without options to have a good time in the most beautiful nature. Choose the time of year you choose, you will be well received by us. We will recommend the best places to practice trekking and we will care to provide everything you need.
