Discover Chayofa: Animal Parks, Tennis and Stargazing

Chayofa can be explored through a range of interests: animal parks, tennis and stargazing each offer a different focus. If you are looking for a hotel in Chayofa, it may help to first consider which activities you would like to shape your trip. Options range from a high-level trail with suspension bridges and tunnels to insights into species conservation, tennis for players aged four and up, and observations of the night sky.

Animal parks with different focuses

Jungle Park is located at Carretera TF-28 Los Cristianos–Arona, kilometre 3, in Urbanización Águilas del Teide, s/n, Chayofa, 38640 Arona, Tenerife. The 300-metre Jungle Raid high-level trail crosses suspension bridges and passes through dark tunnels and narrow passageways. Jungle Park also has a trail more than 800 metres long. Its landscaped enclosures are another part of the experience: vegetation, waterfalls, rivers and lakes recreate habitats in Borneo and Sumatra. During the Animal Passport experience, a professional falconry team shares information about birds of prey, while the opportunity to interact with meerkats and squirrel monkeys offers further insights. This lets you choose between an activity-focused experience, the design of the enclosures and learning about the animals.

Monkey Park is located at Camino Moreque Llano Azul 17 in Chayofa, Arona. It is dedicated to the protection, breeding and care of endangered species, and provides a home for rescued animals. During a visit, you can learn more about the origins, diet and conservation status of each species. While Jungle Park combines a variety of experiences with landscaped habitats, Monkey Park focuses on species conservation and education. Monkey Park is fully accessible to wheelchairs, powered mobility aids and strollers. Public bus route 467 can be used to get there; check current service before travelling.

Tennis and stargazing

Tenerife Tennis Academy is located at Calle El Morro 2 in Chayofa, Tenerife, 38652. It welcomes players of all levels and abilities from the age of four. Tennis is another practical way to tailor your stay to a personal interest. If you would like to include tennis in your travel plans, note the stated minimum age and the open approach to players at different levels.

Star Excursions offers private and group stargazing in Chayofa. A Starlight Guide leads the observations using a motorised 8-inch telescope. The offer also includes transport from your accommodation to the viewing point and back in a luxury minibus. As details of the offer and transport arrangements may change, it is advisable to confirm them in advance for your chosen date. This helps you fit the stargazing into your travel plans without confusing it with one of the daytime activities at the animal parks.

Routes and local history

Two route descriptions can also help with travel planning: the ascent known as the Vilaflor Route begins on the TF-28 in Chayofa. The Arona–Vilaflor route passes through Chayofa before reaching La Camella. If you are planning a drive, the specific route and its course are the relevant reference points. Chayofa also has a historical connection: the place name is among those preserved as significant indigenous heritage in Arona.

With animal parks, tennis, stargazing and routes to explore, Chayofa offers several different starting points for a stay.
