Wild Atlantic, sunny coasts and volcanic stones

Not all islands are the same. Every island in the Canary Islands has its very own character, and you can experience this while island hiking on Tenerife. The largest island in the Canaries is a popular destination for hiking holidaymakers – and almost the whole year round!

From the beginning of February until December the mild climate on the Atlantic allows for wonderful hiking adventures. The stable weather conditions are also what gives the island its distinctive appearance. With Eurohike you can hike from the green Northwest of Tenerife to the southern countryside through rugged coastlines and past dreamy mountain villages. Eight days of pure mountain enjoyment in the middle of the Atlantic!

Itinerary

Garachico is located on the roaring Atlantic coast in the north-west of Tenerife. The old part of town boasts beautiful mansions, churches and the ‚Castillo San Miguel’. The volcanic rock pools invite to a refreshing plunge.

You hike through the very recent volcanic area of Garachico along historic paths. The strenuous ascent to the Ermita de San Francisco is rewarded with a stunning view onto the town situated below, but first and foremost onto the Atlantic Ocean and the entire northern coastline.

After a short break in San Juan del Reparo you descend across the fertile landscape past colourful flowers, cactee and agaves back to the sea again.

An amazing hike from the sea into the uplands. HIking through remote gorges, characteristic cultivated land and laurel forests you reach the tranquil mountain village of Erjos.

You continue along alpine paths through the Teno-mountain range until you arrive at Santiago del Teide. On today’s hike you walk across several vegetation areas – a true paradise for flora and fauna enthusiasts.

Enjoy panoramic views on your transfer through terraced cultivated areas, while passing grazing herds of goats, to the magical Teno-mountain range. Initially the route takes you up to a mountain ridge from where you can enjoy a marvellous panoramic view.

Then you proceed along the ridge over to the Tabaiba pass and onwards on a stunning high altitude path. From here you have an extraordinary view onto the western coastline and the mighty Masca-gorge with its black rocks. Passing the two Gala-Peaks, you return to Santiago del Teide.

You walk directly from the hotel on the enchanting King's Path down to the village of Los Gigantes, with its 450 m high cliffs.

Today you will have enough time to explore the lava beaches below the second highest cliffs in Europe, visit the harbour and for a swim in the pool or the roaring Atlantic Ocean.

Transfer to the neat village of Adeje, from there you proceed along ancient bridle paths, which were used formerly to transport goods across the mountains, across remote mountainous areas.

The route offers ample panoramic views alongside terraced fields and forests, leading you high above the infernal gorge towards Ifonche. You continue along varied trails to the idyllic mountain region of Arona, situated below the mighty Teide-massif.

On today’s tour you experience yet another one of Tenerife’s unique landscapes. You walk up to a viewpoint located at over 1800m in altitude just below Mount Teide, from where you can spot the ‚white lunarscape’.

Let your imagination go wild whilst watching these bizarre sand stone formations on the slopes created by wind, water and the weather. An amazing contrast compared to the black volcanic rock of the past few days.
