Area Recreativa El Lagar

Área Recreativa El Lagar is one of those special spots that every nature lover in Tenerife should discover. Located at over 1000 meters altitude on the island's northwest slope, deep in La Guancha's forest, this recreational area offers the perfect chance to completely disconnect from urban life. What makes El Lagar truly unique is its family-friendly atmosphere and complete facilities: spacious barbecue areas with tables, impeccably maintained restrooms, and even showers available 24/7 for those who decide to spend the night in a camper van or tent.

The place enjoys an enviable reputation among local and foreign visitors, who praise the cleanliness of its facilities and the tranquility of spending the night surrounded by nature. If you're into hiking, this spot serves as the perfect base to explore the multiple trails through the lush surrounding forest. Just remember, if you visit in winter, bring warm blankets as temperatures drop considerably at this altitude. Advance booking is recommended, especially if you plan to camp. A true green paradise open year-round.
