Known as the Enchanted Forest, it is one of the most interesting and impressive trails of all those on the island of Tenerife. It houses a small, but leafy example of a laurel forest, a representative plant of the islands that forms part of the area known as Macaronesia, among which is the Canary archipelago.

Tenerife offers varied landscapes which will not stop surprising you. Each corner of the island is different from one you will have seen. In this case, the route through the Enchanted Forest will make you fall in love with Tenerife and this natural jewel called Anaga Rural Park. It is one more piece of the entertaining puzzle that makes up the island and that more people dare to discover on their own.

At GF Victoria, we would like to give you the necessary advice so that you can enjoy this route and immerse yourself in the wonderful nature of the island.

The Integral Natural Reserve of El Pijaral, where the route is located, occupies just over 300 hectares of the Anaga massif. For conservation reasons, it is necessary to request a special permit to visit it. You can arrange this in a fast and simple way through this page.

The Enchanted Forest trail runs along a circular route of 6.7 kilometres. It is a trek with quite low difficulty on an area which is mostly flat.

How to get there?

From Santa Cruz

Head in the direction of San Andrés and take the El Bailadero / Taganana turnoff. When you find the new detour to El Bailadero, turn. You will be on the TF-123 road, and the start of the route is between kilometres 4 and 5.

From San Cristóbal de La Laguna

Head in the direction of Monte de las Mercedes and take the El Bailadero turnoff to join the TF-123. There you will find the beginning of the trail between kilometres 4 and 5.

During the journey, the road is of great scenic beauty and with many curves. So, although it is not many kilometres, it takes time. When you are between kilometres 4 and 5, known as the Ensillada area, you will see a small parking zone and a barrier.

First part of the trail

Once located, you may have a doubt about where the path begins; whether at the barrier or the path that is right next to the sanctioning sign. It starts right there. It is a circular route, so you will reach the same starting point.

The path has no signs, except for a few stone cairns that take time to appear. You must always follow the best path.

Soon a great spectacle of nature will appear. Walking between tunnels formed by moss-covered tree branches is something very mysterious. In some sections it is completely muddy and you will have to juggle to get around the mud.

After an hour of walking you will arrive at Roque Anambro, a mass of stone that you cannot miss. From there, fantastic views are possible. Later, when you reach the Mirador del Tejo, with plenty of space, you can take a break. The viewpoint offers magnificent views of the hamlets of Taganana, Roque de las Bodegas, Almáciga and Benijo.

Second part of the trail

From the viewpoint you will see two paths leading off. The first, among vegetation are tunnels that reach the coast or the hamlet of Chamorga. Or the second option is wider and sandy, and leads to the starting point.

This section becomes a bit more mundane, but it holds some surprises such as several caves carved into the stone. Thus, after about another hour of walking, you will reach the TF-123 road. Once there, you can choose to return to your car by walking along the road; however, the safest option is to take the leafy path to the right, slightly hidden again. After a climb you will find again the fork from the beginning and also the parking zone.This is where the walk ends.

When you return home, you will take back cherished memories of visiting new places like the Enchanted Forest, where you encountered a magical, natural, environment. We know the importance of the moments lived during holidays and we hope to have contributed our grain of sand by bringing you an essential proposal to enjoy to the fullest. And, if you still have doubts, don’t hesitate to contact our GF Victoria team, we will be happy to help you.

One of the extraordinary gifts that nature offers us every day is, with no doubt, its beautiful sunrises. The fact that every day dawns and dusk is not something especially unique, but seeing the sun rise on the horizon in a destination like Tenerife, it is.

We want to point out on your map the most essential, exclusive points and with the best views to guide all those who, during their holidays in GF Victoria, want to go out in search of the best sunrise in Tenerife.

The Teide

From the highest peak in Spain the views are indisputable. The sun makes an appearance every morning as an advance of a new unique and special day. If weather conditions allow it, it is possible to enjoy the silhouette of the neighbouring islands La Gomera and La Palma. It is an extraordinary experience, you will never forget since you will find yourself at more than 3500 meters high.

Chipeque Viewpoint

One of the most spectacular viewpoints on the island is hidden on the Esperanza road in the direction of Teide. From there you can see a sunrise hardly surmountable. The Teide in the background bathed by a sea of clouds makes up an impressive postcard very accessible and within walking distance of the national park.

Punta de Teno

Volcanic rocks, cacti and a small lighthouse make up the ideal setting to contemplate a sunrise whose hallmark is the contrast between the blue of the ocean and the pink tones that the sun paints in the sky, rising through the westernmost point of the island.

Duque Beach

From the mountain we go to the coast. If you do not want to go very far from GF Victoria, we recommend one of the favourite locations for the locals, Playa del Duque. From this emblematic beach in the south of the island you can witness every morning of one of the most unique sunrises. This is undoubtedly one of the places you cannot miss during your stay at GF Victoria.

La Tejita

A beach where, while the sun is present, you can enjoy a pleasant walk on its kilometre beach. You will have an unbeatable view of how the sun is dressing in different colours while taking height behind the mythical “Red Mountain”.

Benijo Beach

Few beaches in Tenerife are as spectacular as Benijo, so it is the perfect combination to watch the sun rise in an environment where nature is preserved at its best. See how the sun appears among the emblematic Roques de Anaga, can be one of the experiences of your vacation, a passage to tell when you return and a memory that will remain in you for the rest of your life. There is no better way to start the day than with this exaltation of nature.

Presume a vacation when you return home, flood your networks with stunning photos with which to relive every moment and, above all, enjoy family or couple experiences generating unforgettable memories that will last over time. We know the importance of the moments lived during the holidays and we hope to have contributed our grain of sand by bringing you an essential proposal to enjoy to the fullest. And, if you have doubts, do not hesitate to contact our GF Victoria team, we will be happy to help you.

Getting out of your comfort zone is an often-heard premise among the millennial generation. What we can learn from these fans of Instagram, travel and technology, is that we should seize opportunities when they are presented, and we are sure that holidays offer the perfect time to put this approach to the test.

At a time when sustainable habits are providing a much more organic way of understanding the environment, it is not surprising that experts are already talking about the health benefits of nudism. According to the newspaper El País, more than two million people practice nudism in our country – both Spanish and foreigners – and establishments and businesses catering to this demographic are on rise. The experts are clear on this point: the psychological and social advantages are multiple, and we tell you why.

Naturist Tenerife

When you sense a sufficiently private and relaxed atmosphere, such as in the south of Tenerife, you feel even more like enjoying a ‘natural’ dip and so move to the beaches designed for this purpose. Tenerife counts on many special areas for nudists: La Tejita in El Médano; Las Gaviotas or Benijo in the Anaga area; or El Bollullo, on the north coast; these are just some of the best-known examples.

The privileged climate of Tenerife, added to the privacy offered by these hidden spaces, is the reason why many naturists have been choosing our natural surroundings for decades. It has been shown that relaxing without your swimsuit can help to reduce stress and this is accepted more everyday by society as a whole.

Privacy and relaxation at GF Victoria ***** GL

Privacy is a determining factor when it comes to practicing naturism and the guests of GF Victoria***** GL are in luck. For those who love to relax without clothes, the hotel puts at their disposal a cosy space with spectacular views, and a pool where tranquillity is more than guaranteed.

This communion with nature also offers the most comfortable environment, which is why this area has become a must for our guests. It provides a 17m2 heated pool for maximum comfort, and its location is close to other places of interest in the hotel such as the solariums with Balinese beds or our fantastic Air Bio-spa, where you can receive a relaxing massage.

As we mentioned at the beginning of this text … to experience new things is almost always a wise decision, so we encourage you to try something new during your stay at our hotel and discover your most natural self during your holiday.
