Waterfalls, cacti, ancient forests, island views (yes, even La Palma! 👀), and a stunning trail just steps from the marina — Santa Cruz truly surprised us. ⚓️ Next episode: we sail south to Los Cristianos on one of our most exciting (and terrifying!) sails yet. 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe & ring the bell so you don’t miss it! ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 ⚓️ Welcome to Sailing ELANE 0:04 🏙️➡️⛰️ Hiking from the city marina 0:24 🚗 Mountain adventures by car 1:28 🌍 Why Santa Cruz ranks high for quality of life 1:38 🏛️ Previously in Santa Cruz 2:10 🌿 Road trip to Anaga Rural Park 2:52 🌫️ UNESCO laurel forest & Trail of the Senses 4:28 🥾 Taking the longest trail (of course!) 5:52 🌳 Walking through ancient forests 9:30 👀 Epic viewpoints & island spotting 10:34 ☁️ Above the clouds near Mount Teide 11:52 🌌 Teide Observatory & future summit plans 12:30 🚶 Hidden hiking trail near the marina 13:43 🌵 Cacti, rural life & dramatic valleys 15:31 💚 Why we’re loving Santa Cruz 17:13 🌞 Heat, climbs & endless trails 20:01 🪨 Incredible man-made mountain paths 23:54 🩹 Trail mishaps & snack break 24:34 ⛵️ Next episode: sailing to Los Cristianos 25:00 🔔 Thanks for watching! 🎥 Filmed: March 4 & 7, 2021 🧭 Location: ➜ Santa Cruz, Tenerife ☀️ Boat: SY ELANE 📍 Next Episode: Sailing to Los Cristianos, Tenerife --- CREDITS: Movavi Video Suite 26 Epidemic Sound: Photos: Georges Felmas Marc Martin Mergili Sftwins.com --- #SailingELANE #SantaCruzTenerife #TenerifeHiking #TenerifeAdventures #CanaryIslands #HiddenHikes #VolcanicLandscapes #LaurelForest #AnagaRuralPark #UNESCOBiosphere #MountainTrails #SailingLife #LiveaboardLife #SailingCouple #CityMarina #SailingAdventure #SlowTravel #VanLifeAlternatives #OffTheBeatenPath #TravelBySea #IslandLife
