Senderismo cumbres de Masca y monte del agua, sendero tradicional.

Discover the majesty of nature at its finest on the Teno Rural Park Hiking Route, a journey that invites you to explore one of the most stunning corners of Tenerife. Your adventure begins in the peaceful village of El Palmar, nestled beside a small hamlet framed by traditional farmlands that reflect centuries of local heritage. As you ascend along the winding trail, each step rewards you with breathtaking panoramas: the dramatic Masca Valley plunging into the earth, the gentle curves of the reedbeds swaying in the wind, and, on clear days, the distant silhouettes of La Gomera and La Palma rising on the horizon. Along the way, you’ll come across an authentic wheat-threshing floor, a remarkable piece of living history that offers insight into the agricultural practices that once sustained the community.

Continuing along the mountain ridge, the path gradually leads you into the heart of a vast laurel forest, one of the island’s most treasured natural gems. The cool, misty air and dense canopy create an atmosphere that feels almost otherworldly, as if you’ve stepped into an ancient, untouched landscape. Here, every sound—rustling leaves, distant birdsong, the whisper of the wind—adds to the immersive serenity of the forest. Whether you’re drawn by the natural beauty, the cultural heritage, or the peaceful escape it offers, the Teno Rural Park Hiking Route promises an unforgettable experience that captures the very essence of the island’s wild and timeless charm.
