Visit La Laguna, UNESCO World Heritage cityLaurisilva forest of Anaga Rural ParkFishing village of Taganana and Las Teresitas beach

This full-day excursion explores the green and humid north of Tenerife, a very different side from the tourist areas in the south. The first usual stop is San Cristóbal de La Laguna, whose historic center was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in December 1999 as an example of a non-fortified colonial city whose grid layout served as a model for many cities in America. The route continues through the Anaga Rural Park, an ancient massif covered with laurel forest declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2015, with viewpoints, deep ravines, and rugged coasts.

The tour descends to the fishing village of Taganana, known for its fresh fish and seafood restaurants, and usually ends at Playa de Las Teresitas, an artificial beach with golden sand brought from the Sahara and calm waters thanks to its breakwater. Specific details of duration, schedule, guide languages, and pickup points depend on the operator you hire.

Essential information

Accessibility

Being an organized excursion, it usually includes transportation and pickup at hotels or designated points, so you don't need your own vehicle; the route runs along narrow and winding mountain roads (TF-12 towards Anaga and TF-134 towards Taganana). On your own, you can reach it by car from La Laguna or Santa Cruz, and the final stop, Playa de Las Teresitas, has ample free parking and adapted access for people with reduced mobility.

Risk Level

The roads of Anaga and Taganana are very narrow, winding, and have steep slopes, so caution is advised if you are prone to motion sickness, and if you take any trail through the laurel forest, wear appropriate footwear as these are wet mountain paths.
