Circular Afur - Taganana

The Afur – Tamadite Beach – Taganana – Afur circular route is one of the most complete, photogenic, and authentic hikes in the Anaga Mountains. It departs from the small hamlet of Afur, in northern Tenerife, descending through the Afur Ravine, a lush gorge that winds its way through green walls and volcanic rock.

The first section follows the water and immerses you in the typical Monteverde vegetation. After approximately an hour and a half of descent, the trail reaches Tamadite Beach, a wild cove of volcanic rocks where the ocean crashes forcefully. It's not suitable for swimming, but it's ideal for resting and enjoying the unspoiled seascape.

From there, the path continues parallel to the cliffs, following a coastal path that leads to Taganana, with spectacular views of the Atlantic and the rugged profile of Anaga. In Taganana, you can stop at one of its traditional bars to recharge your batteries. The return to Afur is a gradual ascent along a dirt and stone trail, with shaded sections between laurel forest and rural areas.

This route is for those seeking an intense and varied experience, with the contrast between ravine, sea, and forest, in one of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas of Tenerife.
