GR-131 (Island crossing / hiking trail)

Updated 2 August 2026
Hiking from north to southAbout 83 km from La Esperanza to AronaCrosses eleven municipalities and six protected areas

Long-distance trail (GR-131 "Anaga-Chasna") in high mountains, about 83 km, crossing the Corona Forestal and Teide National Park at high altitude. There are few water points, steep slopes, and possible cold, wind, or snow in winter, so it should be planned in stages (usually 5), with enough water, warm clothing, and good weather forecasting.
