WHY GO?
Tenerife is a microcosm of incredible landscapes, where every route is unique:
- The tropical forest in the north of the island, with ancient trees, the scent of lush greenery, and a special atmosphere.
- A unique trail through a nature reserve leading to a mountain waterfall – a quiet oasis hidden in the mountains.
- A hike up to the majestic Teide volcano, with its Martian landscapes that make you feel like you’re on another planet.
And as a bonus, this journey coincides with the Santa Cruz Carnival! It’s a true celebration of vibrant costumes, music, and dancing, held only once a year. So, we won’t just explore Tenerife but also dive into its culture!
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?
- Hike in Barranco del Infierno: Nestled in the heart of Tenerife, the Barranco del Infierno hike is a thrilling adventure for nature enthusiasts. As you ascend through the rugged gorge, the landscape unfolds into a mesmerizing panorama of lush flora, cascading waterfalls, and dramatic cliffs. The trail weaves through narrow passages, offering a mix of challenge and awe-inspiring beauty.

It’s a trek that beckons explorers to unravel the secrets of this enchanting ravine, promising an unforgettable journey through Tenerife’s natural wonders.
- Hike to Mount Teide & Teide National Park: The Hike to Mount Teide unveils an extraordinary blend of geological marvels and breathtaking vistas. As Spain’s highest peak, the third-largest volcano in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site with lunar-like landscapes and unique flora. Teide National park is the focal point of Tenerife, Mount Teide offers hikers a surreal experience above the clouds. The trail winds through otherworldly landscapes, adorned with volcanic craters, vivid rock formations, and endemic flora. The ascent reveals panoramic views of the Atlantic, neighboring islands, and the surreal sea of clouds below. Beyond the physical challenge, this hike is a journey through the island’s volcanic history, providing a profound connection with nature and a summit experience that crowns with a sunrise or sunset of unparalleled beauty.
- Los Gigintes mountains: The towering cliffs of the Los Gigantes Mountains rising abruptly on Tenerife’s western coast creates a dramatic and awe-inspiring sight. These colossal walls, reaching heights of over 600 meters, cast their shadows on the crystal-clear waters below. Their sheer faces, adorned with unique rock formations and vibrant flora, evoke a sense of wonder and admiration. The contrast between the rugged peaks and the serenity of the Atlantic Ocean forms a breathtaking backdrop, offering an ideal setting for hiking, boat tours, or simply soaking in the mesmerizing beauty of these monumental cliffs along the coastline.

- Anaga Rural Park: Offers an extensive network of well-marked hiking trails, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. Trails lead through the forests, along the coastline, and into the heart of the Anaga Mountains. The park has been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, recognizing its ecological importance, diverse ecosystems, and efforts for sustainable development. The park is home to a rich diversity of plant and animal species, including endemic species that are unique to the Canary Islands. Birdwatchers can spot various species in the park, and the ancient laurel forests contribute to its ecological significance.

The city combines modern infrastructure with historical charm, making it an attractive destination for visitors. The city is also home to one of the world’s largest and most famous carnivals, the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is a vibrant and colorful celebration held annually before Lent, attracting visitors from around the globe.
- Star gazing in Tenerife (Time permitting): Tenerife is one of the best destinations in the world for stargazing due to its clear skies, high altitude, and minimal light pollution. The island’s location near the equator also allows you to see stars from both the northern and southern hemispheres. Note: This may involve an additional charge as we would be looking to organize it with a 3rd party.
- Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife: This carnival is the largest event of this kind happening in the Canary Islands and in Spain as well. It is actually the second largest carnival in the world and it is considered by many to be the best carnival, with an amazing atmosphere and friendly street parties.

Itinerary
19:00: Meet the guide and the rest of the participants in the evening and based on your arrival time, we head out for late evening dinner. Post dinner, we rest up to prepare ourselves for next few day’s of adventure.
Let’s start from the north of the island. This hike we would do in the Anaga national park, enjoying some greenery nature and wild bays of the island. In the evening we can, in case not so tired, visit the capital of the Canary Islands – Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Early morning we would drive to national Teide Park, hike along the paths of the volcanic landscape, and, if the weather permits, would take a gondola to the top of the Mount Teide, the highest point in Spain! In case the group would want and would be in a good fitness level, we can hike to the summit without a lift, up to the 3555 meters, conquering the highest peak of Spain! (we would finish at the Gondola station, not to the top, as it requires a permit). This usually takes around 5 hours. At the evening, we would travel to the Los Gigintes village and observe magnificent Los Gigintes mountains, 500 m high cliffs, diving into the ocean.
We would start from Barranco del Infierno, natural balcony with magnificent views to the landscapes in the south of the island. This hiking trip will take approximately three hours. And then we would rush to the carnival, where we would party till end of the day.
Check out from the hotel, and, depending on the time of your flight, either enjoying the nice weather at the beach, or going to the airport.
