Anaga is the easternmost part of Tenerife. The entire massif has been a rural park (Parque Rural) since 1994. It became a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2015.
The laurisilva grew in the Mediterranean Sea basin before the glaciations. It survived in the Canary Islands due to moisture carried by the trade winds.
Anaga has one of the highest concentrations of endemic species in Europe.
Note: Fog is common in the forest. Temperatures are cooler than on the coast. Trails can be slippery.
