La Casa de la Pradera

La Casa de la Pradera is one of those special spots that hiking and nature lovers in Tenerife know well. Located in La Guancha, this charming picnic area sits at the beginning of the trail leading up to Lagar and Barranco la Arena campsite, surrounded by an impressive Canary pine forest that captivates every visitor.

Although its name might be misleading, it's actually a lovely recreational area with a covered picnic table and long benches perfect for enjoying an outdoor lunch before setting off on one of the four hiking routes that start here. The setting is simply spectacular: the scent of pine trees, birdsong, and panoramic views create an atmosphere of absolute peace. Accessible by both car and public transport, La Casa de la Pradera is beloved by locals and visitors seeking to disconnect in pure Canarian nature, serving as an ideal starting point to explore the trails of northern Tenerife.
