Why take this tour?

Probably the most famous flowers of the island are the giant Tajinastes Echium Wildpretii which bloom in the National Park in May. They only grow at an altitude of 2000m and are up to 3m in height. Also known as the tower of jewels and tajinaste rojo by the locals, this bizarre but beautiful plant is endemic to Tenerife and mainly found in the subalpine zone of Las Cañades de Teide. Come and join us for this fabulous and easy hike. It is 8 km with 200 m of ascent/descent over undulating ground, maximum altitude 2,000 m taking approx 4 hours with a picnic stop for lunch (which you need to bring with at least 1L of water per person).

About operator:

So you thought Tenerife was all about the sun, sea and sangria, but what you probably don’t know is that the Island also offers a full range of landscapes and micro climates from moon-like deserts and ancient lava flows to beautiful lush green laurel forest, mountain ravines and coastal paths. I offer a full range of guided hikes all over Tenerife from daily walks to walking holidays with 3-5 days walking and accommodation included. I customise my service to suit individual needs from leisurely strolls along easy trails to negotiating challenging ancient volcanoes and lava flows. My group sizes are normally no more than 6 people, however, larger group walks can be arranged upon enquiry. Let’s discover Tenerife’s Great Outdoors together.
