The Anaga Biosphere Reserve starts only a few hundred meters behind the hotel. Here, the laurel forest has been preserved in its original form as occurred during the Tertiary period in the Mediterranean region, and invites you to take hikes and excursions into an archaic world.

Draped in clouds, foggy visibility conditions (Bruma) are created which add a highly mystical character to the laurel forests of Tenerife. Countless lichens and ferns are flourishing and climbing up trees in these extremely humid regions while the laurel forest literally puts you into a jungle atmosphere. One of the most beautiful hiking trails on Tenerife from Punta del Hidalgo to Cruz del Carmen starts right outside the hotel.

The most popular nature reserve on Tenerife is, without doubt, Parque National del Teide. Amid the gigantic crater landscape all around the 3718 m high island volcano, visitors feel as if they were on another planet. In 2007, El Teide National Park has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. From a geomorphological perspective, it is a natural wonder. The structure of the Caldera and Teide Pico Viejo stratovolcano are unique in the world. That alone, however, is not what makes it so precious. It is the hundreds of volcanic cones, solidified lava flows and caves that make up its significance in terms of science and landscape. In addition, this is accompanied by its diverse fauna and flora with a broad variety of endemic species of the Canary Island as well as species that solely exist in this Park. Hiking in Tenerife can be so spectacular!

The Esperanza Forest in the north-east of the Canary island resembles a jungle, and is the longest continuous stretch of forest on Tenerife. Lookout points are nestled along the road and offer amazing panoramic views of the northern or the southern coast of Tenerife. Many hiking trails are paths through pine and eucalyptus forests. The evergreen scenery in the Esperanza Forest is the perfect setting for a relaxing hike. Due to its vast variety of colours and plant diversity, it is often also referred to as an enchanted forest. From several points in the forest you can enjoy breath-taking views of the Anaga mountain range. Bosque del la Esperanza is one of the attractions of this site. Some of the Canary pines and ancient eucalyptus trees reach a majestic height of up to 40 m. Their needles cover the forest floors like a carpet.
