Description
Circuit hike through the mystical Anaga Mountains
Duration: Approximately 3–4 hours with breaks
Difficulty: Medium – the elevation gain is approximately 1,150 feet (350 meters), which requires a good level of basic fitness.
Your tour includes:
Discover what makes the Anaga Mountains so unique in the world – a mountain range that is 7–9 million years old and has created stunning landforms.
Immerse yourself in the laurel forest, where moss-covered trees, ferns, and swathes of mist create an almost fairy-tale atmosphere.
Take in breathtaking views of deep valleys and steep canyons.
Along the way, you will learn a great deal about Tenerife's volcanic origins and the culture and history of the indigenous Guanche people.
