Bolico Loop Trail (Short)

Parque Rural de Teno

Difficulty: Low

Description

The Bolico short trail allows you to discover the beauty of Teno Rural Park in just an hour’s walk. It is a short trail, easy to access and ideal for families, which offers a rich variety of landscapes and introduces you to the characteristic monteverde woodland of the Teno Massif.

The route starts next to the Bolico hostel, in an unparalleled natural setting. From here, the path leads you up a steep initial climb and then turns off to the right along the PR-TF 56 trail.

Little by little you will enter the laurisilva forest until you reach a crossroads where you should turn left while you walk through chestnut trees. This leads you to Pista de Bolico, which takes you back to the starting point through beautiful scenery and panoramic views of Teno Park. The trail has sections with loose stones, so we recommend that you take special care to avoid slipping.

Tips

  • Always stay on the marked trail and do not enter private property, hunting grounds, water galleries, wells or caves.  
  • Pay special attention when crossing or walking along trails used by bicycles, horses or motor vehicles and when walking in ravines with water courses.
  • Avoid direct encounters with potentially dangerous animals, such as livestock, beehives, and dogs.
  • Proceed with caution and watch for obstacles, loose rocks, uneven terrain or steep slopes to avoid accidents and falls.
  • Check out our guide to hiking in Tenerife and, if necessary, contact the emergency services by calling 112.
