Climbing the "Roque Taborno - Kaktusroute - Matterhorn Teneriffa" (Grade 2+) on Roque de Taborno is a unique and memorable experience. This route, often dubbed the "Matterhorn of Tenerife" due to its distinctive pointed shape, offers exposed scrambling and easy climbing with stunning panoramic views. The Kaktusroute itself is a popular choice, characterized by its interesting rock formations and, as the name suggests, the occasional cactus dotting the landscape. While technically straightforward at grade 2+, the exposed nature of the route and the potential for loose rock demand a cautious approach and solid footwork. A highlight is the summit, providing breathtaking vistas of the Anaga mountains, the Atlantic Ocean, and the surrounding countryside. Descent typically involves carefully reversing the route or using a designated descent path, depending on experience and preference. Overall, climbing the Kaktusroute on Roque de Taborno is a rewarding adventure for those seeking a moderate climb with spectacular scenery.
