Discover the magic of Tamadaba
According to the locals, the best views of Mount Teide may not be enjoyed in Tenerife, but in Gran Canaria. To be exact from the Tamadaba Nature Reserve, a vast pine forest (7,500 hectares) that offers trails with stunning views.
While Tamadaba is a magical place that is home to innumerable trails, we especially recommend stopping at the Llanos del Mimbre lookout, which not only offers spectacular views of Mount Teide, but of the whole northern part of the island. Those adventurous enough to discover this natural landmark are advised to bring food and water, as you will be exclusively surrounded by pine trees.
Getting to Tamadaba couldn’t be easier. First head towards Artenara, the nearest village, then take the access road to the pine forest. Once there, you can leave your vehicle in the car park and head towards the camping area, where the famous lookout is located. This is also the starting point for several trails.
