Route to Villa of Chamorga in Anaga with a taste of its gastronomy

Why take Anaga at Tenerife hiking?

Anaga is undoubtedly full of hidden places and one of our missions is to make them known. Villages like Chamorga and its spectacular viewpoints are impressive. Afterwards you can get to know what Anaga gastronomy tastes like with a delicious typical Canarian lunch.

What does the experience consist of?

The route goes through the laurel forest and two of the most beautiful viewpoints of Tenerife. We start at Chamorga, one of the rural hamlets of Anaga. We will continue to conquer the crown of Anaga and walk along its ridge. On the way back down to Chamorga you will see the easternmost point of the island and several scenic gems. The first part of the trail presents a medium trekking difficulty as we walk up, then we walk through the crest, and finally come back to Chamorga.

At Chamorga we will taste several typical Canarian dishes.

Don’t miss the opportunity to get to know Tenerife in a completely different way!
