Description
The landscape and the journey
Paddy Dillon explores Tenerife’s wooded hills, deep gorges and high volcanic terrain. Choose different landscapes around Anaga, Teno and Teide, combining mountain days with village paths during a varied island holiday.
Routes and itinerary options
The 40 day walks range from approximately 3–26 kilometres and two to ten hours. Five additional GR131 stages connect Arona with La Esperanza, supporting a continuous trek as well as outings from a fixed base.
Maps and practical planning
1:50,000 maps and Cicerone GPX files accompany access, facilities and public-transport information. Island background helps explain the differences between areas and fit walking around your accommodation. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Easy village links and long high-mountain routes demand different experience. Assess rocky ground, ascent and weather. Spring is particularly attractive; summer can be hot and highest areas may receive winter snow. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
