Guide

Detailed itinerary

This is a long and hard climb to Teide, (44km, 5% avg) but is well worth the hard effort.

Before reaching the cable car, we will pass through small villages, forest areas and beautiful viewpoints, where there will be lots of opportunities to take photos and to enjoy the view of Puerto de la Cruz, the bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

The last 11 kilometers will take us through the Teide national park, with the landscape now shifting to be more raw, appearing more like the surface of Mars or the Moon, rather than Earth! A really amazing and breathtaking view.

After the long climb and well deserved break, we make the long descent back to Puerto de la Cruz.

Distance: 94 km, Altitude climb: 2400m
