Lava Guide - Tenerife

Lava Guide is a Tenerife travel guide built on years of exploring the island. Every
recommendation comes from a traveller who hiked the trails, walked the cities, stayed in local neighbourhoods and ate where the locals eat.

Inside you will find real opinions, tested itineraries and honest advice. No endless lists. No filler.

WHAT YOU GET

• Day trips planned from start to finish. The Anaga Forest day runs from the early morning viewpoints at Pico del Inglés down to Playa de Benijo and finishes in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. You get the timing, the parking, the order of stops and the reason behind each one.

• Hikes for every level, with real numbers. Benijo gives you three route variations, from 5.5 km and 2h15m to 9 km and 4h45m. Guajara climbs 690 m over 11 km to the highest point on the Las Cañadas caldera rim, with views across Teide and Pico Viejo. Every hike lists distance, ascent, duration and difficulty before you commit to it.

• City tours you follow at your own pace through Santa Cruz, La Laguna, La Orotava and Garachico. Each tour walks you through the streets with the history, culture and architecture you are actually looking at.

• Experiences across nine areas of the island, from stargazing in Teide National Park to the carved wooden balconies of La Orotava. Prices are listed so you can plan a real budget.

• A planner that holds your whole holiday. Drop a day trip, a hike or an experience onto a date and the app builds your itinerary around it.

• Insights on culture, traditions and the practical questions. When to visit, where to stay, how to get around and what to pack. Short visual stories you swipe through, one subject at a time, instead of scrolling through endless articles.

WHAT LAVA GUIDE DOES NOT DO

Lava Guide does not take hike reservations. Some trails in Tenerife's protected areas need a permit first, and for that you need the Tenerife ON app from the Cabildo de Tenerife. We will tell you when a walk needs one.

WHO IT IS FOR

Anyone planning a Tenerife holiday who would rather do than research. First time visitors who want the island explained properly. Returning travellers who already did the postcard stops and now want the Anaga laurel forests, the Teno cliffs and the towns most people drive past on the motorway.
