Trekking and hiking are utterly rewarding in Tenerife due to the fact nature on this island has been left unadulterated by the tourist boom. Most of Tenerife is a protected area, so one can easily imagine mainstream means of transport are limited as to their ability to lead tourists literally anywhere on the island. Thousands of hectares of forests, volcanic landscape, caves and mountainous challenges open a new world of opportunities in the context of which sports and nature exploration combine in a most inspired formula. Mount Teide and the namesake national park are but a taste of what Tenerife is able to offer in terms of trekking and hiking.
