Anaga Mountains

The Anaga Mountains in the northeast of Tenerife are a fascinating destination for a convertible tour on Tenerife. The route there takes you over winding mountain roads that meander through dense forests and along steep gorges – a dream for all who love to drive with the top down and want to experience nature intensively. Particularly, the approach via TF-12 from La Laguna offers spectacular views, winding sections, and plenty of photo stops overlooking the northern coast or the deeply carved green mountains.

A Nature Paradise with Original Character

The Anaga Mountains were designated a biosphere reserve by UNESCO for good reason. Here, one encounters one of the oldest laurel forests in the world, mystically shrouded in clouds of mist that often drift over the mountain ridges, especially in the early morning or late afternoon. The region is sparsely populated, which has preserved its original character. Small villages like Taganana or Afur cling to the slopes – ideal for a break in a traditional Guachinche, where simple Canarian dishes are served.

Hikes and Views that Stay with You

Even though a convertible tour offers the perfect opportunity to experience the Anaga Mountains, it’s worth getting out in between. Short hiking trails lead to viewpoints like the “Mirador de Jardina” or the “Mirador de Cruz del Carmen,” from which one can even see Teide on clear days. For those seeking a bit more adventure, a longer hike to Playa de Benijo is recommended – a wild, black beach accessible via narrow paths.

Between Mountains, Coast, and Solitude

The Anaga Mountains offer a thrilling contrast to the sun-drenched beaches in the south of Tenerife. Here, the silence of nature reigns, with the interplay of light, fog, and forest. For convertible drivers who also want to discover the quiet, almost mystical sides of Tenerife on their tour, the Anaga Mountains are an absolute must. The combination of spectacular driving routes, untouched nature, and original villages makes this region unique.
