The Barac\u00e1n, Teno Alto and Las Portelas in a comfortable hiking tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today’s circular walk will not only take you to the summit of Barac\u00e1n in northwestern Tenerife. This varied hike takes you over a mountain ridge with fantastic views and the mountains and gorges of the Teno Mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

You hike via the idyllic village of Teno Alto, which is still very quiet, in the direction of Las Portelas. Variety is guaranteed in the landscape, in the ascent and descent and due to the northern location often also in the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barac\u00e1n and the tranquil village of Teno Alto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Barac\u00e1n is the highest peak on a long mountain ridge. This ridge stretches from the saddle between the two highest mountains in the Teno Mountains (Great Gala and Pico Verde) down to the southwest coast of Tenerife. From the hiking trail on this circular route, a small path branches off to the right, with which you can reach the summit of Barac\u00e1n (1003 metres) in a short time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

After climbing the Barac\u00e1n, you will soon reach the small town of Teno Alto or Los Bailaderos. The village is lonely and only connected to civilization by a winding small road on a plateau in the Teno mountains. Here it is still really quiet and contemplative. A place of retreat for every quiet seeker. There are no 100 inhabitants in Teno Alto. Due to the seclusion of the place, many old customs have been kept there.<\/p>\n\n\n
