2 day AMAZING hike in ANAGA RURAL PARK - thrilling cliffs and foggy forests

Hiking on Tenerife seemed to be the right thing to do on this island. The thrilling cliffs, the lush laurel forests and the highest mountain of Spain were very attractive to me, so, for my first adventure in Tenerife, I chose to discover a magical place in the north of the island - the spectacular Anaga Rural Park.

My trail started in the middle of the forest, from a place called Rio hiking towards Taborno.
From there I walked my way towards Playa del Tamadite where I started my ascent to the cliffs, where a big part of my trail was. I hiked a few kilometers and then camped somewhere close to Taganana, a tiny charming village next to the Atlantic Ocean. The next day, I continued to hike along the entire west coast of Anaga Park until the lighthouse, passing Benijo and El Draguillo.
After reaching the lighthouse, I continued my hike leaving the cliffs and passing through the enchanted forest towards El Bailadero. Some part of this trail I did in the light, and some in the dark. I was supposed to take a bus from there, but I arrived too late, so I had to find a different way to return back home to Puerto de la Cruz.

It was the perfect way to spend my Christmas and this hike only opened my appetite for hiking canary islands.
