Anaga — journeys through a living island

Ancient forests, mountain trails and space to reconnect with yourself.

In the north-east of Tenerife, mountains meet clouds and ocean. We walk the trails of Anaga, slow down, listen to the body and notice how our state shifts through contact with nature.

A place where nature sets the pace

Anaga is a mountainous region in the north-east of Tenerife. Cool, shaded forest gives way to open slopes, deep valleys and views of the Atlantic. Clouds may wrap around the ridges, while the next bend in the trail reveals an entirely different landscape.

This place has more than one mood. At times quiet and intimate, at others spacious and windswept. This changing character is what makes walking here feel so alive.

Forest. Mountains. Ocean.

Laurel forests

Shade, moist air, soft light and the feeling that the familiar pace of the city has been left far behind.

Mountain trails

Ascents, descents, rocky stretches and shifting perspectives. The trail asks for attention — and gradually brings it back to the body.

Open space

Ridges, valleys, wind and ocean horizons. Sometimes it is enough to pause and simply look around.

Here, the journey itself becomes a practice

We do more than add a few meditations to an ordinary walk. As we travel, attention naturally returns to breathing, each step, fatigue, emotions and the way we interact with the world around us.

I walk with the group, help people notice how they feel and, as the moment invites, offer silence, simple body and breathing practices, pauses for observation or conversation. Sometimes what matters most is doing nothing special — simply moving and being in contact with nature.

Anaga trails

Each trail has its own character, pace and difficulty. Some pass through woodland, while others lead to mountain views or small settlements. Choose the scenery that appeals to you, and a level of physical effort you feel ready for.

What to know before setting out

Anaga is changeable: the weather shifts, some stretches can be wet and slippery, and ascents and descents require care. We assess each trail individually, considering its difficulty, duration, weather and the preparation needed.

Preparation

Choose a trail that suits your fitness level. Specific requirements are listed on each trail page.

Equipment

Comfortable footwear, water and protection from sun, wind or rain — the final kit list depends on the trail and forecast.

Safety

A route may be changed or cancelled if conditions are unsafe. Where required, we involve qualified mountain guides.

Taking part

You are welcome to come on your own. A small group leaves room both for connection and for your own experience.
