Walking Paradise Tenerife

The little town of Garachico lies on the wild, roaring Atlantic coast in the northwest of Tenerife. The old town, which is well worth seeing, surprises with beautiful mansions, churches and the Castillo San Miguel. The lava pools invite you to take a refreshing dip.

You hike through the young volcanic area of ​​Garachico on historic paths. The efforts of the ascent to the Ermita de San Francisco are rewarded with a fantastic view of the city below but above all of the Atlantic and the entire north coast. After a short break in San Juan del Reparo, we head back down to the sea through the fertile landscape past colourful flowers, cacti and agaves.

A fantastic hike from the sea to the mountains. Through lonely gorges, typical cultivated land and laurel forests, you will reach the tranquil mountain village of Erjos. You hike through the Teno mountains on beautiful mountain trails before you reach Santiago del Teide. On today's stage, you will cross several vegetation zones - a paradise for botany and animal lovers.

Panoramic transfer ride through terraced cultivation areas and past grazing herds of goats to the magical Teno mountains. Your hiking route first takes you up to a mountain ridge, where you can enjoy a wonderful all-around view. You hike along the ridge to the Tabaiba Pass and continue on a fantastic high-altitude trail. Here you have a fabulous view of the west coast and the mighty Masca Gorge with its black rocks. Passing the two gala summits, we return to Santiago del Teide.

From Santiago, we go to the remote mountain village of Masca, which impresses with its unique location amidst the green volcanic landscape and rugged rocks. After a short café cortado, you start your hike through the Masca Gorge, which captivates all hikers with its wild beauty. From Playa de Masca by boat to the resort of Los Gigantes for a night by the sea. As an alternative to the Masca gorge hike on the enchanting royal road directly to Los Gigantes, as the gorge is currently not accessible.

Transfer to the pretty village of Adeje, from where you hike through lonely mountain areas on old mule tracks, which used to be used to transport goods over the mountains. Terraced fields and forest accompany your panoramic view path, which leads high above the Höllenschlucht in the direction of Ifonche. A variety of paths take you to the idyllic mountain region of Arona below the mighty Teide massif.

On today's hike, you will experience another unique landscape of Tenerife. You hike to an over 1,800 m high vantage point below the Teide, from where you can see the "white lunar landscape". Bizarre sandstone formations have been formed on the slopes by wind, water and weather and awaken the viewer's imagination. A great contrast to the black lava rock of the past few days.

Departure from Vilaflor or spend extra nights in the surrounding region.
