Other walks in the area
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.
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.
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.
Teno Alto circular
A short circular walk on the Teno Alto plateau, inspired by the "Teno Alto Self-Guided Trail" on the website www.tenerifeon.es. We start from the small plaza in the center of the village (plaza de Teno). The route begins on paths through pastures between farms where goats are raised and cheese made. The village is then reached by skirting a volcanic hill with caves.
Beautiful views of the countryside, pastures, the sea, the Isle of Gomora and Teide.
At the end, a final round-trip section with shaded sections offers a view of Punta del Teno.
At the time of the walk (mid-November 2023), the Los Bailadreros bar was open in the village and connected to the square, where we were able to eat and drink. In fact, it's frequented by many hikers on much longer treks.
"Caminando entres los volcanes" in Teide National Park
An easy loop through an incredible volcanic landscape. A must-see in the Teide National Park.
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.
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.
