Circular las Raices
La Esperanza
The Las Raíces Circular Trail is a gem of Monte de la Esperanza (El Rosario), perfect for those looking for a natural hike without major technical challenges. At just 5 to 6 km and with little elevation gain (accumulated elevation gain of about 330 m), it offers an accessible and highly rewarding experience: a walk along a forest track and through trails, ideal for families, beginners, or hiking with dogs.
The route begins in the Las Raíces recreational area, at an altitude of about 1,000 meters, amid occasional mists, beech trees, holly, rockrose, and dense Canary Island pine forests. The trail soon rises slightly to Montaña Chica, from where you can enjoy views of the Güímar Valley and the silhouette of Montaña Grande.
The trail crosses the Maravedís Ravine, passes through the Bedijo area, and returns leisurely to the starting point. The route is well marked with the white and yellow markings of the PR-TF.25.1 trail and is ideal for a 1- to 2-hour hike enjoying the fresh air and green silence.
Highlights: few people even on weekends, natural shade, the opportunity to stop at a bench for a snack, and a humid forest environment that's refreshing, even in summer. Some sections allow you to see Santa Cruz or La Laguna through the trees.
In short, it's an easy, beautiful, accessible route steeped in nature. If you want to relax for a while, stretch your legs among ancient pines, and breathe fresh air without long hikes, this trail is a highly recommended stop when exploring northern Tenerife.

It's a perfect place to enjoy magical sunrises and unforgettable panoramic views.
