Discover the breathtaking Anaga Rural Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve on Tenerife, where ancient laurel forests whisper secrets of the past and dramatic landscapes unfold like a living tapestry. Immerse yourself in one of the oldest natural spaces in the Canary Islands, with relict vegetation from the Tertiary era, misty trails, and panoramic views blending rugged mountains with the sparkling Atlantic Ocean.
Guided by passionate local experts, join a shared group for an intimate and rewarding hiking adventure.
After a convenient morning pick-up, visit three iconic viewpoints with stunning panoramas of the coastline and peaks. Step into the enchanted laurel forest — a rare ecosystem that feels like travelling back in time.
Enjoy a moderate 3-hour hike (5.5 km, 220 m ascent) starting at 420 m altitude: explore a picturesque mountain gorge and walk alongside impressive man-made water canals carved centuries ago. Plenty of stops for photos and stories along the way.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We are pleased to confirm that free pick-up and drop-off service is included for all accommodations across the entire island of Tenerife. This comprehensive service covers both the busy main tourist hubs and all rural or remote areas of the island. To ensure we can locate you efficiently and maintain a smooth schedule for all guests, we kindly request that after booking, you send us the precise location of your hotel or apartment via WhatsApp. The most helpful way to do this is by providing a Google Maps link or dropping a pin on the map. If you do not have your accommodation confirmed at the time of booking, please ensure you send us these necessary details as soon as possible once they are known. We meticulously organize the route based on the locations of all our guests, and we will confirm your exact pick-up time and specific meeting point no later than the evening before the tour. Please be advised that on the morning of the tour, your driver may send a short WhatsApp update regarding any timing or location adjustments necessitated by traffic or road conditions. Finally, we ask that you be present at the designated pick-up point 5 minutes before the scheduled time, as regulations in various areas often limit our waiting or parking duration.
