El Pijaral hiking trail (Parque Rural de Anaga): This moderately difficult trail of just over 6 kilometers starts at the La Ensillada car park and passes the Cabezo del Tejo viewpoint, from where you can see part of the village of Taganana and the north coast of the Anaga massif.
To visit the El Pijaral nature reserve you need a permit (free of charge), as only 45 people are allowed to enter the area each day (fine of €600 if you are checked without permission).
You can make a reservation here:

The trail leads through the bosque encantado - fairytale forest - and goes over hill and dale. Hiking boots are a must! The trail is also quite strenuous and narrow up to the cabeza del Tejo viewpoint. Here you have a fantastic view and persistent begging birds for company.
After that, except for the last 500m, it is a child's walk back to the car park.

This forest is unique. I have never seen anything like it. If you come to Tenerife, the ANAGA park is a must
