Taganana
Macizo de Anaga
Taganana is one of those places that seems to resist the passage of time. Hidden in the heart of Anaga Rural Park, this small rural town is a treasure among ravines, laurel-covered mountains, and winding roads leading to the sea. Getting here is an experience in itself: the road twists between cliffs and hairpin bends, revealing breathtaking views at every turn.
Founded in the 16th century, Taganana maintains a traditional architecture that sets it apart: white houses with reddish roofs, built in terraces on the hillsides, adapting to the rugged terrain. In its church, one of the oldest in Tenerife, a silence invites contemplation. And in the surrounding area, life seems to follow a slower pace, more connected to the land.
Nearby are some of the island's wildest beaches, such as Almáciga and Benijo. They don't have hammocks or beach bars, but they do have wild waves, black sand, and sunsets that leave you speechless. Between swims, there's nothing like sitting in one of the small family-run restaurants to try fresh fish, wrinkled potatoes, and local wine.
Taganana isn't just a beautiful place: it's an experience. A blend of history, landscape, rural culture, and direct contact with nature. Perfect for those looking to get lost for a while, gaze at the sea from above, and understand that Tenerife is much more than sun and sand. Here, time doesn't run: it's lived.

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
Antequera
Antequera Beach is that hidden corner of Anaga that can only be reached by sea or after a challenging hike: black volcanic sand, colorful cliffs, and a wild atmosphere. Perfect if you're looking for relaxation, pure nature, and an uncrowded beach. Ideal for those who value authenticity and don't mind a bit of a hike.

Sports
Barranquismo Barranco Río Superior
The Río Superior Ravine, in the heart of Anaga, is one of Tenerife's canyoning gems. Its route descends between walls covered in moss, ferns, and laurel forest, creating a unique jungle atmosphere. It offers technical rappels, pools, and natural cliffs, always surrounded by a humid, green silence. It is an intense and visually spectacular experience, perfect for lovers of the island's purest and wildest nature.
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.
