At Cruz del Carmen in Tenerife’s Anaga Rural Park, this interpretation centre is a useful first stop for learning about the area’s forests, nature and local culture. Exhibits give context for the landscape, while staff can explain marked hiking routes and help you choose a trail to suit your fitness level. Pick up route information before setting out: mobile reception can be very limited in the area, and the centre is a practical place to plan your walk.
