Adeje walks
Barranco del Infierno
El Barranco del Infierno, the ravine of hell, named for its steep terrain, is located in the town of Adeje, in the south-west of Tenerife. It is a magnificent hike due to its vegetation and views of the coast.This hike is a round trip and there is a fee. However, it is well worth the investment of €15 per person.Although the number of people is limited on the site, it is still quite busy. The waterfall at the end of the hike is nothing special, but it is located in a superb setting.Important note: the elevation gain is 350 m, not 900 m as indicated on the information sheet.
Ifonche
Easy hike on a well-marked trail. Beautiful views of the ocean and La Gomera in a mountainous environment with Canary Island pine trees.
Mont Suarez and Roque Imoque north of Arona in Tenerife circular
Between Arona and Vilaflor, a loop on the heights offering beautiful panoramic views of the Adeje valley, a playground for paragliders. After crossing the Barranco del Rey, a beautiful deep gorge, the trail climbs gently around Mount Suarez, then more steeply up the slopes of Roque Imoque. Along the way, cactus, abandoned farms and old threshing floors and small caves. The gently sloping return journey faces the marine horizon of the island's southern tip.
Sentero de los Roques de Garcia
Undoubtedly one of the most interesting hikes for those who don't have much time. Views of Mount Teide, lava flows, "Wild West" rock formations. You'll get an overview of the area's panoramas in a hike that's accessible to all.
A loop of the Pic du Guajara
In the Teide National Park, this hike takes you up to a superb summit which offers splendid views of Teide on one side, and the south coast of Tenerife on the other.
The route is very well marked, with signs at every crossroads. It's virtually impossible to get lost.
⚠️Please note the hunting season in the Park. See Practical Information. Updated October 21, 2022.
A loop of the Pic du Guajara
A superb loop on one of Tenerife's most beautiful peaks. The whole circuit offers an extraordinary view of the caldera and the summit of the Pico del Teide. The difficulty lies in the suspended passage below the summit. It's an aerial passage, but never exposed, so don't attempt it if visibility is poor.
New markings have been added to some of the passages, so the description below will probably have to be adapted to the new markings on the summit section.
A variety of landscapes between El Teide and Montaña Guajara
An easy hike on a good path. You’ll enjoy superb views of El Teide and the surrounding area. Then you’ll encounter rugged, eroded rocks in a variety of shapes and colours as you approach Montaña Guajara (alt. 2,717 m), the highest peak in the vast caldera. Towards the end of the route, you’ll see viper’s bugloss, those tall plants endemic to Tenerife that bloom red (in the right season). As a bonus, there’s a safe car park.
"Caminando entres los volcanes" in Teide National Park
An easy loop through an incredible volcanic landscape. A must-see in the Teide National Park.
Tour of the Chinyero volcano
An easy family hike that allows you to admire the last volcano to emerge in Tenerife by walking around it. You will walk among the volcanic fallout on a good path. The massif is dotted with pine trees, some denser than others.
The Yellow Mountain of Tenerife
Montaña Amarilla was created by an underwater volcanic eruption, the crater of which still dominates the area. The sea and erosion have finished shaping the surrounding area into a curious and singular landscape found nowhere else on the island. The landscapes follow one another, with rows of volcanic cones dominated first by Teide, then by the coast, where the yellow rock that gives the mountain its name appears.
Le Teide by Montana Blanca
On the slopes of Spain's highest peak, the Pico de Teide, access to which is restricted.
You should book and ask for authorization to access the summit (3715m) with National Park wardens in advance.
A palette of colours at the foot of El Teide
After walking for 800 m, you’d think you were in the middle of the desert. Sandy terrain (but you don’t sink in), a gradient of colours, gentle undulating terrain, and dark rocks providing a striking contrast. A real treat!
A 6 km family walk if you do a return trip to the point (2). A relatively steep climb of 200 m in elevation if you do the full route. El Teide is very close by.
At the foot of the Chinyero volcano
Magnificent, easy hike through a fairy-tale forest, past a black volcano and rocky landscapes. Easy and beautiful. Done with children aged 6 and 9, without any problems.
On the heights of Masca, from the Cruz de Hilda viewpoint
This short route allows you to enjoy this area with its magnificent scenery. The view stretches far into the distance, and the cliffs are impressive. A pleasant route that climbs steadily amidst prickly pears and other vegetation. Even in winter, it’s a pleasure to walk here, whilst being far from the crowds of tourists in Masca.
There is the option to extend the walk further along this good path, for 1.5 km, to Cumbre Bolico. Personally, I was stopped in my tracks by the fog that rolled in at the end of the day.
From Mirador La Tabaiba to Cumbres de Baracán
This round trip hike from the Mirador Altos de Baracan car park on the ridge will take you through the spectacular landscapes of Baracán via the Macizo de Teno ridge.
