          Sendero de los Sentidos, or  known as “The Path of The Senses” is a forest located in the natural reservation of Anaga Rural Park, in the north of the island. Anaga is maybe the greenest part of Tenerife, away from the crowds, noise, beaches, cities and cotidian life. In these areas you can come to relax and enjoy the beauties that this island has to offer. Enjoy the highland of mountains with sharp peaks covered with the green carpet of forests.           Sendero de los Sentidos is probably the easiest hike (more like a walk) in the Anaga Mountains. What is special about this forest is that, as you walk through it, urges you to use all your senses to enjoy intensely the beauties that the woodland has to offer. You will come across several signs prompting you to stop for a moment to take in the surroundings using one of your senses. Feel the soil beneath your feet, the texture of the logs, the moss 🌱… See the ...

          Since we didn’t succeeded to visit Fanal Forest on our 3 rd day , we gave it a second chance today, but we took the risk and arrived there a little bit later than desired. Around 10:30 in the morning we arrived. There is a space that people use to park their car, but it cannot handle more than 5-6 cars. However, there was only one car there by the time we arrived. We were lucky enough to find the forest still in the fog. It was exactly how I imagined: a mistycal forest with old, weird-shaped trees. After a half an hour the fog disappeared and uncovered a beautiful green field with unique trees covered in the greenest moss. The atmosphere here was either a fairytale or a background of a horror movie 😊 ). We were so lucky to enjoy both of the sceneries.           The second stop was near Porto Moniz, at Ribeira da Janela. What I looked up to see here were the imposing rocks Ilheus da Ribeira da Janela. Since it is a...

          We had big big plans for today. We decided to get up early in the morning at 6:30 and skip breakfast so we can arrive in time for the “Foggy Forest”. We didn’t really knew the name of “that misty forest that is always covered in fog”, but we guided ourselves from pictures we’ve seen on Google Maps. Never do this! You'll see why.           After an hour of driving we arrived in the parking lot. The temperature dropped from 20 degrees to 5 degrees. I was wearing just my white dress which I bought especially for this scenery: forest, old trees, fog, misty stuff, you know. I took my hoody and jacket over my fancy dress and got out of the car. We entered the path which seemed to go somewhere up on the mountain. But there were no sign of trees. There was nobody around. Only some hunters which I decided better not to go at them dressed up in a dress at 5 degrees on a mountain and ask them where the hell is the entrance to “t...
