The hike starts from the small plaza in Afur, near the San Pedro chapel, following trail PR-TF 8. The first part crosses the Barranco de Afur, with running water during wetter months, and native plants like tabaibas and cardones lining the route.

After around 1 hour, you reach Playa de Tamadite, a wild beach with dark volcanic sand and big rocks. It’s not safe for swimming due to strong currents. This is a good spot for a short rest.

From the beach, the steepest climb begins. The trail leads to El Chorro (Los Auchones), a quiet hamlet with vineyards and old stone wine presses. Continue uphill until you reach Taganana, one of the oldest settlements in Tenerife. If you have time, you can explore the church or grab food here — but keep in mind you still have half the route ahead.

The return goes through Monte de las Vueltas, a lush forest area with sections of laurisilva, tree heather, and ferns. You’ll pass a few houses and reach the Camino de Enchirés, which takes you back to Afur. The final stretch includes a climb up to the Degollada de la Cumbrilla, then a descent on cement tracks to the starting point.
