This recreational area has picnic areas, barbecues and many trails to explore. It is a perfect place to take a break before continuing the march. Currently camping is not allowed.

Mar-2025 Part of the hiking trails to Realejo Alto were closed due to forest fire damage. It was impossible to get through. Unfortunately, there was no information at the start of the tour in Realejo Alto either.

Chanajiga Campsite - near Los Realejos

The Chanajiga campsite is situated in the municipality of Los Realejos and could be considered one of the most important on Tenerife, as it is where several island walks converge.
It can be accessed from the TF-21 road that connects La Orotava and Las Cañadas, via a signposted forest track. Alternatively, the main entrance is off the La Orotava-Palo Blanco-Benijos road.

Although it covers an area of some 500 square metres and has a 50-tent capacity, its only amenities consist of running water and parking facilities. Unfortunately, there are no showers or toilets.

There is, of course, the essential "recreation area" nearby, which is open until 7pm in winter and 9pm in summer.
