Path of the Senses

Highlight • Trail

From Cruz del Carmen, three routes begin, known as the Trail of the Senses. You are walking along an old Camino Real, a royal road that connected the villages of Anaga to the town of La Laguna. They offer the opportunity to explore and experience the environment with a different sense: by smelling, seeing and touching. Along the trail, signs with symbols for the different senses (nose, hand, eye) encourage hikers to smell, touch or look at a specific element of the environment. The Senses Trail 3 includes the previous two trails and descends even further to the Mirador del Llano de los Loros, where hikers can enjoy views of Santa Cruz and the Tahodio Gorge and Dam. Its difference in altitude and the corresponding demands on the hiker, although not particularly pronounced, are greater than the other two trails of the senses.

Laurel Forest at Cruz del Carmen

Highlight • Forest

The jungle so typical of Tenerife begins just a few steps off the road. This jungle is home to an extensive botanical diversity with some of the most representative species in the entire archipelago. In the Anaga Mountains, the mountain slopes are covered with primeval cloud forest in which clouds often catch. This leads to the myriad of fine water droplets in the air. In the Erika-Laurel primeval forest, the trees are lushly overgrown with mosses and lichens and there is also a varied undergrowth on the slopes of the mountains. A highlight that you shouldn't miss.

Laurel Forest Trail, Anaga Rural Park

Highlight • Forest

The mystical jungle in the Anaga Mountains lets you imagine yourself in fantasy worlds á la Lord of the Rings without any problems. The gnarled, tangled trees, the meandering paths and the constant interplay of light, shadow and fog create a very special atmosphere. Definitely one of the scenic highlights of Tenerife.
