Anaga, a hiker’s paradise
Tuesday, 20 September 2022
Here you can find a network of footpaths of varying degrees of difficulty all over the area. Trails that take you through forests with native flora and fauna, and which are undoubtedly the best way to get to know this natural paradise
At the Montes de Anaga Hostel we will be able to advise you on which ones will suit your interests, but here are some of the most famous ones that could be on your list of ‘must-do’s’.
The trails of Anaga that you should not miss:
Sendero de los Sentidos – Path of the Senses. It starts in Cruz del Carmen and is divided into three very short and easy routes. The total distance is 1.3 kilometres, which is less than an hour’s walk.
Forest of Enigmas. This is also an easy alternative and goes through the laurel forest. It is a 5 km circuit that can be completed in about two hours. It can be started from the Visitor Centre or the Zapata Viewpoint.
Camino de Las Vueltas. The Camino de las Vueltas trail was, until recently, the only means of communication between the village of Taganana and Santa Cruz and La Laguna. The trail starts to the left of the Casa Forestal.
Barranco de Afur – Afur Ravine This starts in Afur and reaches the beach of Tamadite. It descends through a charming ravine and is only 3 km long one way.
Route to Punta del Hidalgo. From Cruz del Carmen you can walk to Punta del Hidalgo on a route that passes through several interesting landscapes. It takes about 4 hours.
If you want to walk through the most spectacular places of the Anaga Rural Park, we are waiting for you at the Montes de Anaga Hostel, the ideal place to rest and recharge your batteries for the next experience, surrounded by nature.
