📋No permit required
Roque de Taborno is one of the most iconic and least crowded landscapes in Anaga. Located next to the small hamlet of the same name, this volcanic rock formation rises abruptly above the cliffs, creating an unmistakable profile.
The circular trail that surrounds it is easy and can be completed in just over an hour, although frequent stops to admire the scenery often lengthen the experience. The route offers spectacular views of the north coast, the deep ravines that lead to the sea, and, on clear days, the silhouette of Mount Teide in the distance. Along the way, the laurel forest gives way to more open and drier areas, reflecting the transition of microclimates that characterizes Anaga.
Roque de Taborno stands out not only for its natural beauty but also for the secluded and tranquil nature of its surroundings. The small square in the hamlet is a good place to rest before or after the hike, enjoying the peace of a place that seems frozen in time.
Although it doesn't require great physical effort, the trail runs along some ravines, so it's advisable to walk with caution, wear hiking boots, and, of course, bring a camera to capture some of the best views on the island.

Where to eat
La Cochinera
Guachinche La Cochinera is one of those places you don't seek out, you discover. In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature and animals, it offers an authentic and rural experience like few others in Tenerife. Dining inside a cave, in a simple and welcoming setting, makes it a unique, genuine, and truly Canarian experience.
What to see
Presa de los Campitos
If you're looking for a peaceful getaway near Santa Cruz with a unique twist, the Los Campitos Dam has something special. It's not just nature: it's an abandoned structure that lends a distinctive character to the surroundings. You can stroll around, explore, and discover the contrast between the natural landscape and what was left unused. It's a little-known spot, perfect for disconnecting and discovering something different without going too far.
Activities
Área Recreativa Llano Los Viejos
If you're looking for a picnic area within Anaga that's more secluded and less crowded than others, Llano de Los Viejos has a very different feel. Here you're immersed in the laurel forest, with frequent mist, humidity, and that typical silence of the northern mountains. It's a more enclosed spot, perfect for relaxing, having a picnic or barbecue, and disconnecting from the hustle and bustle.
Beaches
Playa de Benijo
Benijo Beach, in northern Tenerife, is one of those places that seem like something out of this world. Wild, dark, and powerful, it combines volcanic sand with a rough sea and the silhouettes of rocks emerging from the Atlantic. It's ideal for those seeking pure nature, far from mass tourism. The sunset here is one of the most impressive on the island: the sun sets behind the rocks while the sea is tinged with gold and violet.
Nightlife
Shopping
Nymeria Cómics
Nymeria Comics, located in the historic center of La Laguna, is a shop specializing in comics, manga, board games, collectible cards, miniatures, and various merchandise. It's characterized by its extensive and up-to-date catalog, friendly and engaging atmosphere, and card game tournaments and events that make the visit more than just a shopping experience. It's a popular spot for geeks in northern Tenerife.
Sports
BMX Parque la Vega
The BMX circuit at Parque de La Vega in La Laguna is one of the most active spaces for freestyle enthusiasts in northern Tenerife. Surrounded by greenery and a youthful atmosphere, it offers a course with ramps, jumps, and modules ideal for practicing technique and style. It's a regular meeting point for local riders who appreciate its relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere, open to all levels.
Trekking
El Tomadero
A circular route in Anaga Rural Park connecting Punta del Hidalgo with El Tomadero, ascending via a channel carved into the rock and descending through the ravine. It's approximately 6 km with little elevation gain, but includes technical and exposed sections that increase the difficulty. The channel is in very good condition and clean, although it can be quite vertigo-inducing in some places. The descent through the ravine is rocky and uncomfortable. A short but demanding route, not recommended for people with vertigo.
