Tenerife Hiking: From Cloud Forests to Volcanic Peaks
Tenerife packs radically different landscapes into a small island. In a single day you can hike from laurel cloud forest through volcanic desert to pine-covered mountainsides. The Anaga Rural Park in the northeast is a prehistoric laurisilva forest; Masca in the west cuts through a dramatic volcanic gorge.
These are the highest-rated guided hiking experiences on the island — led by local guides who know the trails, the weather patterns, and the history.
