This island is the ideal location to enjoy this activity, whether you are a beginner or an experienced climber. Here are the best locations for climbing in Tenerife.
One of the most popular areas for this activity is Arico, in the south of the island. This is mainly because it has more than 500 routes with a maximum height of 35 meters. It also stands out for having spectacular weather conditions throughout the year, which is very favorable to do this sport. This place has a large number of sectors for climbing with all levels of difficulty, among them, the “barranco de Ortiz”, perfect for bouldering, and the “barranco de El Río”, for those seeking greater difficulty.
Anaga is another major climbing destination. It is located in the northeast of the island and has the longest classic climbing routes in Tenerife. In addition, the maximum height reached in some of its routes is 250 meters. Among its great diversity of landscapes and spaces we find several rocks in which to run more than a hundred climbing routes, ranging from intermediate levels to levels for the most experienced in this field.

The “Risco de Guaria” is considered one of the most incredible areas on the island for climbing. It is located in the Natural Monument of Tejina Mountain, in Guía de Isora, situated in the Southwest of Tenerife. This place stands out for hosting the longest sport routes of the island, with approximately 90 routes. It is important to emphasize that, as it is a protected natural landscape, it has a limit of around 70 people per day and requires an annual permit that is granted by the public administration of the island, the Cabildo.
