Punta de Teno in Tenerife | Current travel rules

Edit: 6/05/2025

The Punta de Teno cape , the westernmost point of Tenerife, is located within the boundaries of the Parque Rural de Teno. It is a place of almost primeval charm - steep cliffs falling into the azure ocean and a characteristic lighthouse create a landscape that will stay in the memory for a long time. Due to the extreme sensitivity of this area, the authorities have introduced regulations on car traffic to protect the unique fauna and flora and ensure the comfort of visitors.

On Punta de Teno, the historic lighthouse from 1897 is set to be renovated and transformed into a modern interpretation centre – therefore, the rules for access may change in the future (I will update them on an ongoing basis). You can find more information about this extraordinary cape, its beauty and planned projects in the entry: Punta de Teno | The untouched end of Tenerife .

In the meantime, I invite you to familiarize yourself with the currently applicable rules for reaching the venue.
