Parque Natural de la Corona Forestal Adventures

Parque Natural de la Corona Forestal encompasses approximately 46,000 hectares, making it the largest natural park on Tenerife, Canary Islands. It surrounds the volcano El Teide, the highest peak in Spain, and features a diverse mixture of ecosystems ranging from dense laurel forests (laurisilva) to pine woodlands and dramatic volcanic landscapes formed by ancient eruptions. The park's name, meaning 'Natural Park of the Forest Crown', reflects its vast forests and crucial role in island biodiversity. Ecology in the park is rich with endemic species such as the Canary Island pine, dragon trees, and unique bird species including the Tenerife blue chaffinch. Historically, the area has been protected since the 1980s to preserve its fragile ecosystems and volcanic heritage. Recreationally, the park offers extensive hiking, mountain biking, and nature observation with trails winding through mystical forests, volcanic craters, and panoramic viewpoints like the Roques de Garcia. Visitors are drawn by its remote natural beauty, the chance to explore varied terrain, and proximity to Teide National Park. The park also plays an important role in water catchment for Tenerife and is a vital green lung for the island’s environment, making it a must-visit for nature lovers, photographers, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a serene yet dramatic volcanic wilderness experience.
