Enchanted Forest

Highlight • Forest

The summit of Teide was closed due to snow. The tour offers beautiful views, especially when the clouds are low. But even when the sun is shining, there are always shady areas.

Moss and Lichens Trail

Highlight • Trail

This hike provides an extensive impression of the flora and fauna (esp. birds) in the Canary pine forest. Impressive to see how nature recovers independently after a forest fire. The path is currently (2024-11) being renovated.
