June 15, 2024,El Palmar ⭐⭐⭐

Very nice and brisk walk from El Palmar where we first climb steeply up to Teno Alto before taking the beautiful path to the Mirador de Baracán. We then make a detour to Las Portellas and the 'cake' of El Palmar. This walk is generally experienced as a fairly challenging route and takes an average of 3 to 4 hours …

Honestly...I'm simply at a loss for words right now (I'll report back in more detail after we return from our vacation, but for now I'll let the numerous photos speak for themselves...) to adequately describe and appreciate this incredible hike in the "Teno Mountains" in the far west of Tenerife, because those precious hours "up there" were simply amazing hiking! …

December 13, 2024,2024/2025 🇪🇸 El Palmar - Baracán

Another very varied tour. First, the moderate ascent from El Palmar with great views of the wide plateau and the Atlantic. Further along the ridge over the Camino de Baracán, also with great views of La Gomera and the Teno Mountains. In the beautiful passage through the laurel and heather forest, you could practically hear the silence. From Teno Alto …

October 26, 2024,🇪🇸Von El Palmar nach Teno Alto🇪🇸

After rain 🌧 was forecast everywhere in Tenerife today, we used various weather apps to look for a spot where the sun 🌞 would at least come out. The result was a wonderful circular hike across the Teno plateau and the Cumbre de Baracán. The barren plateau of Teno Alto is one of the most remote places on the island. …

December 2, 2024,🇪🇸Teneriffa 2024: TraumNaTour von El Palmar nach Teno Alto ****

Today's NaTour will be the end of our Tenerife vacation, and not only that, it is also an absolute highlight of our hikes!

The dream trail is incredibly varied: sometimes it goes through evergreen laurel forest with laurel trees and huge tree heathers. Then again it goes past dense prickly pear stands with lots of overripe fruit, the red flowers …

Very nice paths and a beautiful ridge path.
Unfortunately we didn't see anything on the entire lap 😫. Everything was overcast and a strong wind was blowing. There was drizzle on top. The best part was eating at a small eatery in TeNo Alto, highly recommended.

September 17, 2025,TF-3 Teneriffas Norden - auf gewundenen Pfaden durch das Teno-Gebirge

Today's hike through the Teno Plateau and to the summit of Baracan was physically demanding, but also particularly scenic.

Rated only "moderately difficult" according to the hiking guidebook, this route featured some very steep, rock-strewn paths and a long, quite airy passage along a mountain ridge.

November 8, 2022,El Palmar – Teno Alto

For me one of the most beautiful tours in the Teno Mountains and absolutely recommendable. With a bit of luck you will see the herds of goats returning home. The two small restaurants in the Teno Alto are very original and the menus inviting.
