About this experience

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 4-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.
