A breathtakingly spectacular coastal hike amidst stunning, rugged scenery. On one side, the roaring Atlantic Ocean with its small bathing coves and the Palm-Mais lighthouse is a truly magical sight. And then there's the surrounding landscape with its rugged trails and cacti – simply beautiful. On a clear day, you can see La Gomera and, on the other side, Mount Teide. This hike is highly recommended and incredibly interesting.

Hiking

The Punta de Teno is almost a real insider tip among the Tenerife sights! This spectacular cliff is an absolute must for anyone who loves nature and breathtaking landscapes. Punta de Teno is a headland at the northwesternmost point of the island, and the jagged rocks are made of the lava rock typical of the Canary Islands.
