Bolico Loop Trail (Medium)

Macizo de Teno

Difficulty: Medium

Description

The Bolico medium trail immerses you in the natural splendour of Teno Rural Park on a walk of approximately one and a half hours. It is easily accessible and provides you with the opportunity to plunge deep into one of the most representative ecosystems of the area: monteverde woodland.

The route starts at the car park near the Bolico hostel, a perfect starting point to discover the rich biodiversity of the park.

It continues with a steep initial ascent and then turns right onto the PR-TF 56 trail. The path continues to climb along a scenic stone-lined path until it meets Pista de Bolico. Turn left onto this track, which will take you gently downhill to the starting point through beautiful mountain landscapes and panoramic views of the surrounding area. Take care with sections of loose stones on this last part of the route 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.
