About Teno Rural Park

Teno Rural Park
 

Teno Rural Park is located on the northwest tip of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands. This striking landscape is characterized by steep ravines, lush laurel forests, and rugged coastlines. The park is home to a variety of flora and fauna, some of which are endemic to the Canary Islands. Historically, Teno has been shaped by volcanic activity, which has influenced both the landscape and the human activities such as terraced farming. Visitors are drawn to its ecological diversity and breathtaking views. Recreational opportunities in Teno Rural Park are abundant, with hiking trails that range from easy to challenging, routes for mountain biking, and paths leading to scenic lookouts. Notable landmarks include Punta de Teno, offering panoramic views of the ocean and the towering Los Gigantes cliffs. The park is also important for conservation, as it supports rare species and delicate ecosystems, making it a crucial area for ecological studies and environmental protection.
