It takes time to explore Tenerife, and some people return year after year to discover more and more of the island. This guidebook contains a good six weeks of walking, and to make the most of opportunities visitors should be prepared to choose different bases to explore different areas; otherwise too much time could be spent travelling to far-flung parts. Good fast roads encircle the island and climb remarkably high, but other roads are narrow and convoluted and can only be travelled slowly.

The 45 days of walking on Tenerife described in this guidebook are made up of 40 one-day walks, either signposted as PR (pequeño recorrido) routes or number-coded senderos in the national park, plus another five days signposted as a GR (gran recorrido) route that can be linked together as a long-distance walk. Few of these routes stand in isolation, and most of them link with one, two or more adjacent routes, so there are options to modify and adapt them, and some routes feature variants and extensions. There are almost 630km (390 miles) of trails described on Tenerife in this book, and this represents only part of the signposted and waymarked trail network.
