The route explores an untouched place - the Monteverde (cloud forest). Here you will find the richest natural ecosystem in the Canary Islands, one teeming with a large number of living creatures, mostly birds and insects, some of which are species unique in the world.
This is a forest composed of more than 20 types of trees, such as the laurel and the viñátigo, and indeed is one of the strongholds of laurel, with the forest dating from the Jurassic and Tertiary periods.
Tenerife is a beguiling volcanic island with a warm average year-round temperature of 23ºC. And with more than 1,500km of hiking trails, there’s no better way to experience its incredible landscapes, than by joining the 2016 Tenerife Walking Festival.
The festival, from 29 March to 2 April offers visitors a series of 15 group hikes (max 25 participants) along 3 coastal, 6 volcanic and 6 forest routes that celebrate the diverse scenery and inspiring natural beauty.
All routes depart from Puerto de la Cruz town centre. For more details and to register, go to tenerifewalkingfestival.com
