Hiking in Tenerife with children (or without): 7 short routes
This family's experience:

Activities: We did a mini-hike on wooden walkways through the unique cloud forest. We stopped at the Cruz del Carmen, which offers information about hiking in the Anaga Mountains. The path gives you a first impression of the enchanted forests in the higher locations

Highlights: The children enjoyed the short walk on wooden walkways and the view from the viewpoint. It was great to get a first impression of the enchanted forests. We could also see what the Garajonay National Park on the neighboring island of La Gomera looks like ✨
