Puerto de la Cruz: Quad Teide National Park

La Caldera - 30 minutes The La Caldera Recreational Area is located in the highlands of La Orotava, just beyond the Aguamansa neighborhood. It is one of the most comprehensive recreational areas in the north of Tenerife, attracting a large number of visitors year-round. La Caldera offers several amenities, including parking, a bar-restaurant, a large playground, public restrooms (without showers), barbecue grills, tables, and a camping area. This recreational area is the starting point for numerous trails in the surrounding area. Altitude: 1,000 meters.

It runs along the Siete Cañadas Trail, a section of the historic Camino Real de Chasna, which once connected the regions on the southern slope of the island with the Orotava Valley in the north. It is a flat path with few climbs or descents that runs along a large section of the inner wall of the Circo de las Cañadas, between the sharp escarpments and badlands of the most recent eruptions, through the multiple sedimentary plains or cañadas that give the trail its name. An extensive route that, along its 16 kilometers, will offer us volcanic landscapes of great beauty and geological interest, enhanced by the colorfoul endemic flora (especially in spring) and adorned by the omnipresent Teide volcano.
