# From Chamorga to the Anaga Lighthouse via Tafada What to do en Anaga Massif · Anaga Massif Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/canary-islands/anaga-massif/things-to-do/chamorga-to-anaga-lighthouse-via-tafada · Revisado: 2026-11-13 - Duración: 3 h 20 - Temporada: All year; in summer, very early - Para quién: Experienced walkers; out and back or circular with the PR-TF 6 PR-TF 6.1 trail · 2.8 km each way · 1 h 40 · No shade · Roque Bermejo · Free Chamorga is the easternmost hamlet of the massif, at the end of the road, and from it leaves the only trail on the island that reaches the Anaga Lighthouse. The PR-TF 6.1 climbs the El Pilón crag, crosses the Paso de la Burra, climbs stone steps to the ruins of the hamlet of Tafada and drops to the lighthouse, with the Anaga rocks and Roque Bermejo at your feet. It is 2.78 km each way, 1 h 40, with 211 m of ascent and 412 m of descent. Medium difficulty. Out and back or circular The simplest thing is to return the same way: allow 3 h 30 including the climb back. Those who want more can close the loop along the PR-TF 6, which descends to Roque Bermejo and climbs back up the ravine to Chamorga; it is a high-difficulty trail with big height differences. Check the status of each section on Tenerife ON before setting out. Sun and water The Cabildo warns that it is a path with almost no shade. Set off early, with a cap, sun cream and at least a litre and a half of water per person. Do not count on buying anything in Chamorga or at the lighthouse. Getting there By car, take the TF-12 to El Bailadero and the ridge road to Chamorga: about 45 minutes from Santa Cruz, on a narrow, winding road. You park at the entrance to the hamlet.

It takes about 80 minutes. Take the 7:00 and come back on the 11:45 or the 16:30. ## Cómo llegar y contacto - Coordenadas: 28.57, -16.1591 ## Cerca de aquí - [El Pijaral, from La Ensillada to the Cabezo del Tejo](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/canary-islands/anaga-massif/things-to-do/el-pijaral-ensillada-cabezo-del-tejo), a 2.5 km - [La Ola, by the sea at Roque de las Bodegas](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/canary-islands/anaga-massif/where-to-eat/la-ola-roque-de-las-bodegas), a 4.3 km - [Playa Casa África restaurant, at Roque de las Bodegas](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/canary-islands/anaga-massif/where-to-eat/casa-africa-restaurant-roque-de-las-bodegas), a 4.3 km - [The Taganana coast, from Roque de las Bodegas to El Draguillo](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/canary-islands/anaga-massif/things-to-do/taganana-coast-roque-de-las-bodegas-to-el-draguillo), a 4.3 km - [Albergue Montes de Anaga, at El Bailadero](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/canary-islands/anaga-massif/where-to-stay/anaga-mountains-hostel-el-bailadero), a 5.0 km - [Descent from El Bailadero to Taganana via Azanos](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/canary-islands/anaga-massif/things-to-do/el-bailadero-to-taganana-via-azanos), a 5.0 km - [Taganana and its interpretive trail](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/canary-islands/anaga-massif/things-to-do/taganana-village-interpretive-trail), a 5.8 km - [Afur, Tamadite beach and Taganana on the PR-TF 8](https://www.geocalia.com/en/spain/canary-islands/anaga-massif/things-to-do/afur-tamadite-beach-taganana-pr-tf-8), a 8.8 km ## Consejos ### First bus or first thing At midday the sun falls full on Tafada. ### Mountain footwear There are stretches of loose stone and high steps. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### How long does it take from Chamorga to the Anaga Lighthouse? 1 h 40 each way via Tafada according to the Cabildo; allow 3 h 30 for the round trip. ### Can I go by bus?
