El Tanque walks

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.

An easy loop through an incredible volcanic landscape. A must-see in the Teide National Park.

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.

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.

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.

A superb loop on one of Tenerife's most beautiful peaks. The whole circuit offers an extraordinary view of the caldera and the summit of the Pico del Teide. The difficulty lies in the suspended passage below the summit. It's an aerial passage, but never exposed, so don't attempt it if visibility is poor.
New markings have been added to some of the passages, so the description below will probably have to be adapted to the new markings on the summit section.

In the Teide National Park, this hike takes you up to a superb summit which offers splendid views of Teide on one side, and the south coast of Tenerife on the other.
The route is very well marked, with signs at every crossroads. It's virtually impossible to get lost.
⚠️Please note the hunting season in the Park. See Practical Information. Updated October 21, 2022.

Between Arona and Vilaflor, a loop on the heights offering beautiful panoramic views of the Adeje valley, a playground for paragliders. After crossing the Barranco del Rey, a beautiful deep gorge, the trail climbs gently around Mount Suarez, then more steeply up the slopes of Roque Imoque. Along the way, cactus, abandoned farms and old threshing floors and small caves. The gently sloping return journey faces the marine horizon of the island's southern tip.

Montaña Amarilla was created by an underwater volcanic eruption, the crater of which still dominates the area. The sea and erosion have finished shaping the surrounding area into a curious and singular landscape found nowhere else on the island. The landscapes follow one another, with rows of volcanic cones dominated first by Teide, then by the coast, where the yellow rock that gives the mountain its name appears.

A pleasant hike through the lava blocks along the coast. Malpaís de Güímar is a nature reserve declared a protected area. It's a unique volcanic landscape stretching from the Montaña Grande to the coast. This loop is perfect for children, as it's short and very easy.

A seaside trail that takes us from San Sebastian de la Gomera Beach to La Guancha Beach. The trail runs along the entire seafront, with beautiful views of San Sebastian as well as Tenerife and the Téïde Volcano, Spain's highest peak.

Hermigua is a village that stretches along the Monteforte barranco. Nestling in a ravine as far as the eye can see, it ends at Santa Catalina beach.
Our hike will take us from Santa Catalina beach to La Caleta beach.
