Hiking route from Cruz del Carmen to northern coast

Journey through lush laurel forests and ancient ecosystems

Explore arid cardonal-tabaibal coastal landscape

Panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Anaga mountains

Journey Through The Ancient Laurisilva Forests And Traditional Cave Houses Of Anaga Rural Park


For those who love hiking and seek an experience that blends nature, history, and stunning views, this route is perfect. Starting from the top of Cruz del Carmen, in the heart of Anaga Rural Park, the journey takes you from lush laurel forests down to the rugged northern coast of Tenerife. The trail offers an immersive experience in one of the island’s most beautiful natural settings, where every step reveals a new aspect of its ecological and cultural richness.


Hikers will pass through ancient forests, explore winding paths, and encounter the serene beauty of the Anaga mountains, all while feeling connected to the timeless rhythm of nature. The route is a true journey through Tenerife’s diverse ecosystems. It begins in the laurisilva, a misty, magical forest filled with moss and towering trees, then descends through the warmer thermophilic zone, where the fragrances of rockrose, heather, and dragon trees fill the air, creating a sensory-rich hiking experience.


Finally, the trail leads into the arid cardonal-tabaibal ecosystem, which is characteristic of the unique Canarian coastal landscape. Along the way, hikers can see traditional cave houses carved into the rock, providing a fascinating glimpse into the ancestral lifestyle of the mountain inhabitants who once lived in these remote areas. These dwellings serve as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people who adapted to the challenging terrain of the Anaga mountains over many generations.


This route is a comprehensive exploration of the island's natural heritage, moving from high-altitude forests to the dramatic coastline. It is an ideal choice for those who want to understand the ecological diversity of Tenerife while walking through history. By the end of the hike, participants will have experienced the full spectrum of the island's climate zones, leaving with a profound appreciation for the cultural and natural legacy preserved within the protected lands of Anaga Rural Park.

We were there on August 11th, and the entire trail was closed by the police. We didn't understand why. Other hiking trails were also closed by the police. We were only able to enjoy the beautiful view.

We discovered this trail by chance because our bus driver (275) dropped us off at the next stop (we wanted to stop at Pico del Inglés). It's absolutely beautiful and fun to walk. It's not complicated and it's also quite short (about 20 minutes). The forest is incredible; it feels like you're in a fairy tale. The end of the trail takes you to the famous tunnel. If you're also thinking about going to Pico del Inglés, I recommend taking the next stop and hiking this trail; it's much more interesting than the walk from the bus stop.
