Chinyero
Located between Santiago del Teide, El Tanque, and Garachico, the Chinyero Nature Reserve spans 24 square kilometers and showcases recent lava flows and rare volcanic ecosystems. At 1,560 meters high, the Chinyero Volcano stands as a striking reminder of the 1909 eruption. It’s the perfect spot for hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers seeking a mix of history and geology.
Playa La Arena
This popular beach in Puerto Santiago (Santiago del Teide) is ideal for families, featuring calm waters and 27 consecutive years of Blue Flag status. It’s great for swimming, diving, and peaceful seaside walks. As the sun sets over La Gomera, visitors can enjoy the view and explore the nearby restaurants serving traditional Canarian cuisine.
Natural Pool Isla Cangrejo
Isla Cangrejo’s natural pool offers a tranquil space for swimming and sunbathing. Sheltered by a concrete wall, the area provides stunning sea views and a relaxing environment. It is accessible via a staircase, though caution is advised during high tide and strong waves. This pool is not suitable for children.
