As every muscle in your body strains and you cling to the rock wall as if you were listening to its heartbeat, you know the only way is up... So up you go! Another karabiner hooked in place and you’re raring to climb higher. The summit is right there. You reach out with your fingertips to grab the last crack in the rocks. Your feet push you a little bit higher and... you’re there! From the top, everything looks different. Prepare to discover otherworldly landscapes such as the Cañadas del Teide.
Where?
There are endless places to go climbing at different levels on the island of Tenerife, but the best thing is to contact specialised companies who know which are the most suitable ones and the best time of year to go, so you can have a memorable experience!
What do I need?
The specialised companies will provide all the equipment you need. In any case, we recommend bringing the following: Personal protective equipment, helmet, harness, lanyard, climbing shoes, 1 litre of water per person, energy-boosting snacks like dried fruit and nuts, sun cream... and lots of energy!
What about permits?
You don’t need to worry about permits – the specialised companies will take care of everything, so you don’t have to worry about a thing!
When?
In Tenerife you can go climbing all year round, but bear in mind that some areas are restricted because there are certain bird species nesting.
Practical tips
Climbing is lots of fun but it doesn’t come without risk. It takes place in the heart of nature, far from emergency services. This activity is only suitable for people who are physically fit. You must always be accompanied when you go climbing. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact the specialised companies and they will give you all the information you need.
