Description

Guided hiking tour to the Anaga Rural Park protected as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2015.

Anaga is a mountainous massif located in the northeast corner of the island of Tenerife. It is criss-crossed by deep ravines to the north and south of a central ridge culminating in the Cruz de Taborno at an altitude of 1,024m. Its peaks are covered by the laurel forest and its coasts are cliffy, for the most part, although it has some of the most beautiful beaches on the island.

Numerous picturesque hamlets are scattered throughout the complicated orography of this territory. Its inhabitants have known how to take advantage of the resources of this natural terrestrial and coastal environment and have bequeathed us a valuable rural, cultural and ethnographic heritage that we can appreciate in every corner of Anaga. Cultivation terraces, cobbled paths, wine presses, caves, corners of goats and countless other elements tell stories of hard work, isolation and celebration of life.

We will walk along one of the trails of this mountain massif, one of the oldest on the island of Tenerife, at least 7 million years old, we will discover the rich biodiversityof plant and animal species that inhabit it and we will learn about the history and ethe legacy passed down by its inhabitants.

We will choose a different route each time and according to the season to appreciate its richness and contrasts, a special celebration or a flowering plant. You can also ask us for a specific route and we will put a date in our calendar.

The difficulty of the route will generally be medium, but we will indicate on each occasion whether we do a simple or expert itinerary, so that you can decide if you are prepared to do it.

During our routes we try to promote local economic development by suggesting a stop at the bar or restaurant of the farmhouse we pass through to taste the local gastronomy or simply have a drink. Also, contribute to a local, authentic and sustainable initiative.
