About this experience
Let’s meet in the morning and head out to discover the lush, wild landscapes of eastern Tenerife. This side of the island is home to ancient forests, dramatic ridges, and a rich variety of plant life found nowhere else.
We’ll start by visiting three iconic viewpoints in Anaga, offering breathtaking panoramas of the coastline and rugged peaks. From there, we’ll step into the enchanted world of the laurel forest, a rare relict ecosystem that feels like a journey back in time.
Our hike begins at an altitude of 420 meters and typically lasts around 3 hours, depending on the group’s pace and experience. Along the way, we’ll explore a picturesque mountain gorge and walk alongside an impressive man-made water canal — a testament to the ingenuity of local communities centuries ago. The route includes a 220-meter ascent, making it both scenic and moderately challenging.
