🏔️ Guaza Mountain Natural Monument
📋No permit required
Guaza Mountain is a Natural Monument located near Los Cristianos, in the municipality of Arona. It stands out for its imposing silhouette and for being an area of great scenic and ecological value. The trail that runs along it connects the coastal town with El Palmar, offering an experience that combines ocean views, contact with native flora, and the opportunity to discover a less-traveled corner of southern Tenerife.
Along the route, which winds between old fishing paths and volcanic slopes, you can stop at natural viewpoints from which, with a little patience, you can observe dolphins and sea turtles swimming in the crystal-clear waters near the coast. These sightings, along with the flight of seabirds such as shearwaters and gulls, add an extra dimension to the hike.
The area preserves remnants of ancient terraces and small caves, evidence of past agricultural and fishing uses. The contrast between the volcanic aridity and the deep blue of the Atlantic creates a landscape that invites contemplation. Although it is not a technical trail, comfortable shoes, sun protection, and water are recommended, as the area lacks shade. Walking through Montaña de Guaza is to discover a corner where the volcanic land meets the sea and wildlife roams freely.

What to see
La Hoya
The hamlet of La Hoya, in San Miguel de Abona, is one of those places that helps you understand what life was like in southern Tenerife before tourism. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest as an Ethnological Site, it preserves traditional architecture, historic paths, water sources, and agricultural terraces in a rural setting that has changed very little over time.
Activities
Tunolandia Canarias
This is a distinctive plan on the island of Tenerife across all the playa and hotels, Tunolandia is one of these curiosities that are so popular. In the Valle de San Lorenzo, this space consists of a variety of tuneras, gastronomy, tradition and products based on high pico. Aquí puedes pasear entre cactus gigantes, probar mermeladas, licores o mojo de tuno y descubrir una cara mucho más rural y diferente del sur de la isla.
Beaches
Playa de los Cristianos Puerto
Los Cristianos Beach, next to the port of the same name, is one of the most iconic beaches in southern Tenerife. Protected from the waves by the pier, it offers calm waters and golden sand, perfect for swimming and strolling. From the shore, you can observe the activity of the fishing port and the departure of ferries to La Gomera, combining a local atmosphere with the maritime charm of a traditional coastal town.
Nightlife
Bahia Beach
Bahía Beach Restaurant is one of those places where the real star isn't the food, but the oceanfront ambiance. Located in Palm-Mar, literally right on the ocean, it functions more like a relaxed beach lounge where you come to enjoy a cocktail, listen to music, and watch the sunset with the sound of the waves in the background. The Balinese beds, live music, and terrace overlooking the sea make it easy to end up staying for hours without even realizing it.
Shopping
BOX-FISH - Dive Shop
BOX-FISH is a diving, freediving, and spearfishing shop located in Costa del Silencio. It stands out for its extensive inventory, very competitive European prices, and fast delivery service to the Canary Islands (in-store and online). It offers equipment rentals, renowned brands, technical assistance, and friendly service. Ideal for both novice and experienced divers.
Sports
Zona de calistenia en el Puerto de San Miguel
The Calistenia area of Puerto de San Miguel, in Amarilla Golf, is one of these locations that offers a complete experience. The park is beautiful and not particularly large, but it is just outside the sea, just like the port of sports, as it can be seen with views of the boats, the ocean and the volcanic landscape on the Costa Sur. A very tranquil location for outdoor activities in the more urban atmosphere of other parks.
Trekking
Sendero Montaña de Chayofita
The Chayofita Mountain Trail in Los Cristianos is a simple, short route that offers one of the best panoramic views of southern Tenerife. Its route, just over a kilometer long, gently climbs an ancient volcanic cone to a peak overlooking Los Cristianos, Las Américas, and the Atlantic. It's ideal for a sunset walk, enjoying the tranquility and the cityscape from above.
