The PR-TF 6 El Draguillo – Chamorga – Faro de Anaga trail is one of those routes that makes it clear from the start that it's not meant to be easy. It's a demanding circular route, with steep inclines and sections of very rough terrain, covering a good part of the northern and coastal slopes of the Anaga Massif. Starting in Chamorga, and over the course of about 6–7 hours, you'll connect historic villages such as El Draguillo, Las Palmas de Anaga, and Roque Bermejo, with the lighthouse as one of the most recognizable landmarks along the way.
The trail combines mid-altitude areas with very exposed coastal sections. There are narrow passages, unstable ground, and steep slopes, especially between El Draguillo and Roque Bermejo, where you need to be firm and steady on your feet. This route is not suitable if you suffer from vertigo or have little experience on technical terrain. Added to this is the high sun exposure, so managing your water and pace is crucial.
Beyond the difficulty, what truly captivates is the contrast: hamlets practically frozen in time, old communal wine presses, traditional paths, and a rugged coastline that drops abruptly to the Atlantic. The Anaga Lighthouse, isolated and battered by the wind, marks one of the most powerful moments of the route before beginning the return journey.
It's a very comprehensive route for understanding Anaga from within, but it's also subject to change: some sections have been temporarily closed due to landslides, so it's best to accept that it's not always in ideal condition. This trail isn't something you can just wing. If you come prepared, you'll have one of the most intense and authentic experiences on Tenerife's network of trails.

Cabeza del Tejo
If you love feeling immersed in unspoiled wilderness, this viewpoint in Anaga, Cabezo del Tejo, will leave you speechless. Upon arrival, you'll find yourself literally stepping onto a natural balcony overlooking the north coast of Tenerife. From here, you'll see the Roque de las Ánimas, the cliffs of Benijo and Almáciga, and the entire Atlantic Ocean stretching to the horizon. Surrounded by laurel forest and the mists of the trade winds, it's one of those places where the landscape remains pristine.

Surf Almaciga
Almáciga Beach, in the heart of Anaga, is one of the most authentic surf spots in northern Tenerife. Its wild surroundings, volcanic sand, and powerful Atlantic waves create the perfect setting for experienced surfers. There are no resorts or crowds, just sea, rocks, and nature. A place where surfing is experienced calmly, in connection with the landscape and the power of the ocean. The waves peak left and right, offering fun sections to maneuver and even occasionally barrel in.
Trekking
Circular Afur - Taganana
This circular route from Afur to Taganana is a gem of Anaga Rural Park. It crosses the Afur ravine to Tamadite beach, follows the cliff-lined coast to Taganana, and returns along a trail that climbs through forest and mountains. Wild landscapes, a contrast between sea and mountains, and a very authentic rural atmosphere. Good physical fitness and suitable footwear are required.
