The experience

Most people come to Tenerife for the beach or the volcano. Forestal Park sits between them: a treetop obstacle course in the protected forest of Las Lagunetas, just outside El Rosario, where you're surrounded by canary pines instead of sand or stone. The park is the largest of its kind in the Canary Islands, and the difference shows the moment you clip into the harness. You're not on a platform looking down. You're moving through the trees, thirty meters up, with nothing between you and the view except the rope in your hands.

The day starts with a safety briefing and about half an hour of training on the ground: how to clip, how to move through the obstacles, what the signals mean. Then you've got two and a half hours to work through the circuits. There are four of them, ranging from easy to extreme, so you can pick your level or move between them as you go. The easy and medium courses need a minimum height of 110 centimeters. The harder ones require 1.45 meters. Weight limit across all circuits is 110 kilograms. Most people spend the time doing the same course twice or mixing easier and harder sections, depending on how they feel after the first run.

The Tarzan swings and ziplines are what people remember. You climb a wall, grab a rope, and jump out into open air: the swing arcs you out over the treetops before you swing back. The ziplines are longer, faster, and they drop you into the next section of the course. Between the obstacles, you're walking across rope bridges, balancing on logs, pulling yourself up nets. It's not a race, and there's no time pressure. You move at your own pace, and the harness system means you're always attached to a safety line.

The ticket includes the harness, liability insurance, and free parking. The park operates in all weather (bring a jacket if it's cold or rain gear if the forecast looks uncertain), and if the weather turns bad enough to close, you can reschedule or get a full refund. Children under 13 need an adult with them (over 15 years old), and the park runs with multilingual staff in Spanish and English, so you won't be lost on instructions.
