Canyoning the Barranco de los Arcos (‘barranquismo’ in Spanish) is a must-do activity for adventurous travellers in Tenerife, and you don’t have to be an experienced mountaineer to do it. The canyon is very beautiful even by Tenerife standards, and you are guaranteed to get a nice experience and memories for many years to come.
The Anaga Rural Park has official trails numbered from TF-1 to TF-12, however, sharp-eyed hikers will notice that the TF-7 trail is nowhere to be found on official maps and the GPS navigation apps. This artilce will explain why.
This guide to official hiking trails in the Anaga Rural Park will provide an overview of all the official trails based on such characteristics as length, “circularity”, difficulty, but also the scenery, suitability for kids, etc. The ranking is based on my personal experience of hiking or running these trails during our family’s in Tenerife in 2022 and 2023 by myself, with my kids or fellow hikers.
