Arona 2 - Suárez - El Topo Circular Trail

Technical information

Trail description

The trail begins at Plaza del Cristo de la Salud, right in the heart of Arona. It leads you up along the TF-51 road for about 1 km (0.62 miles) until it nears La Charca del Ancón, where the circular trail actually starts. From that point, the trail follows a gentle upward slope to Ifonche along a ridge which once housed farmland. The area still shows some vestiges of traditional local agriculture. Once you have passed the houses of Casas del Topo and the El Refugio restaurant, you will see a path across the ravine of El Refugio. This leads you onto Camino de Suárez and back to the start, after walking around Roque del Imoque, Montaña de Suárez and the foothills of Roque del Conde, crossing the El Rey ravine and heading back to the town of Arona. The trail enters two Protected Nature Areas of great ecological significance: the Barranco del Infierno (Hell's Ravine) Special Nature Reserve and the Protected Landscape of Ifonche, so you are asked to be careful and respectful.

  2. If you keep your noise levels down, you will discover just how much life there is all around you.
  3. Take any rubbish with you, even organic waste. This will help preserve the beauty of the scenery and prevent the proliferation of rodents in the area. Take special care with cigarette butts.
  4. Picking up plants, animals or other items from the environment may entail the loss of irreplaceable resources.
  5. The people who take care of these Protected Nature Areas would be very grateful if you let them know about any incidents you may have noticed on your walk. To do so, contact the Environmental Department of the Island Council of Tenerife:
