Overview

This picturesque alpine hike explores a high undulating ridge with some short steep ascents that offers panoramic views of the Laurel forest. We then follow a path deep into the sub-tropical rain forest where hanging lichen and mosses abound. This is without doubt one of the most important eco-systems on the island.
Then, just like magic, open countryside appears where we are given the most spectacular panoramic view the island of Tenerife has to offer. We then look down on the Masca gorge and the surrounding volcanic landscape. On a clear day, the finale is a fabulous view of Mount Teide looming in the distance across the Santiago valley and the lava fields high above. Our hike then continues on easy footpaths through Pine forest and descends majestically into a valley which is reminiscent of the English countryside.
This is a moderate hike, 12 km with 375m ascent/descent over undulating ground. Maximum altitude 1100m taking approx. 5 hours.
NOTE - THIS IS NOT THE MASCA GORGE HIKE!

I came to Tenerife to do some hiking and Andy's hike was amazing. It was the best way to see that Tenerife has more to offer than the pool/beach and bars. Andy was really knowledgeable about the area; I learned loads about the flora and fauna, the landscape, the climate and so much more. Will def...

A really interesting and varied walk, perfectly tailored to the ability of the group. Andy the guide clearly knows every square inch of Tenerife like the back of his hand.

Really enjoyable walk in the Teno Massif and Enchanted Forest. Andy is good guide, giving interesting information on the landscape and history of the island. I suspect he could probably do this walk blindfolded, he knows all the tracks and best places to see the breath taking scenery. I was part...
