Description
Discover Tenerife’s most varied landscapes on a long-distance trail from El Rosario to Arona in the south-west.
This route through forests across the mountainous spine of the island is the only long-distance trail in Tenerife. Due to its length, it is usually divided into five stages, which you can complete separately:
- From La Esperanza to La Caldera, where you can stay overnight with prior authorisation.

- From El Portillo to Degollada de Guajara.
- From Degollada de Guajara to Vilaflor.
- And finally, from Vilaflor to Arona in the comarca (district) of Chasna.
To complete this trail as a through-hike, you have the following hut-based camping areas available for overnight stays:
- Las Calderetas Camping Area: Located 500 metres from the junction with trail PR-TF 25 (Las Raíces Recreational Area – Lomo de La Jara Recreational Area).
