Circular hike in the Anaga Mountains with a round trip around Roque de Taborno<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This large circular hike in the Anaga Mountains is really a „small“ challenge for every hiker. Not only the length of almost 19 kilometres and the 1,200 metres of altitude difference are a challenge, but also the actual airy loop around the Roque de Taborno (703 metres of altitude difference) may not be easy for everyone in some places. Surefootedness and a head for heights are therefore a prerequisite for this little extra loop around the Roque de Taborno. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"View<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But if the big loop from Cruce de Afur over Pico del Ingl\u00e9s to Taborno and on to Afur and over Roque Negro is enough for you, you can of course also stop in Taborno. You can enjoy the beautiful view of the Roque de Taborno and the fantastic Anaga landscape and then continue the round tour. As you can see, this hike again offers you several options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General information about the round trip Anaga with round the Roque de Taborno<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starting point and approach<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The starting point of the hike is the Anaga mountain road TF-12. You start hiking at the Cruce de Afur. This is the point where the TF-136 road branches off from the TF-12 to Afur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrival by car<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can get to Cruce de Afur either from Santa Cruz in the north or from La Laguna in the south via the Anaga mountain road TF-12. There are plenty of marked parking spaces both on the road towards Afur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Starting<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Arrival by bus<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Titsa bus lines 076 and 077 stop directly at Cruce de Afur. Details and more information can be found on the Titsa homepage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I don’t like to give general times for hiking tours, as the times are very individual. I needed just under 6.5 hours for this hike with extensive rest and a few stops at the viewpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Altitude<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Altitude difference and route length<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The difference in altitude is approx. 1200 metres and the route is approx. 18.5 kilometres long. If you don’t do the loop around the Roque de Taborno, you can save about 5 kilometres of the entire round tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirement<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will walk on good hiking trails or roads throughout the entire loop. However, a very good level of fitness is a prerequisite due to the length of the route and the metres in altitude. A head for heights and surefootedness are required for the loop around the Roque de Taborno. After extensive rainfall in the Anaga Mountains, the narrow paths can become very soggy and muddy. You should never do the Roque de Taborno circuit in rain or stormy weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
