The Canary Islands host some of the best hikes in Europe—and the trails in Tenerife are living proof. The Teno Mountains feel as dramatic as the Swiss Alps, with trails winding along steep barrancos, vertical cliffs, and vibrant evergreen forests. The hikes at La Caldera elegantly transition from cloud forests to Mars-esque volcanic landscapes, complete with unique rock formations and the feeling of soothing solitude. Anaga is another place to get far from the tourists, with misty forest walks, thrilling coastal trails, and a wild array of micro-climates. Head to Tenerife, and find a different hike—and a different biosphere—every day of the year.
