The Callejón de Teno and Baracán Summit Trail was a change of scenery compared to my first two hikes. Where as my previous hikes highlighted the stark features of Tenerife's interior, this hike was full of lush, green landscapes. The road to El Parque Rural de Teno was an epic journey of narrow roads and steep cliffs. Several amazing views along the way as well as the most gut-wrenching driving I've ever experienced. The hike itself was a magnificent loop that included epic coastal views, a visit to a mountain village, and the summit of one of the tallest peaks in the area. It was a long hike that took the entire day, but it was worth it. The day ended with a visit to Masca, a tiny village built into the mountainside, to view the sun setting on the coastline flanked by massive, green mountains.
