About this experience
Our most popular tour takes visitors through some of the most vibrant areas of Tenerife. This 8-hour trek covers three regions spanning more than five climates. The first part of our trek will be from Teide National Park, where we’ll travel through the scenic mountain range, stopping along the way for photos and to admire the views from a height of 2,200 meters. Following our time in Teide, we’ll venture on to the village of Masca, on the west side of Tenerife - located within the Masca Gorge, it’s often compared by visitors to Machu Picchu. From Masca, we’ll travel back to the north side of the island - a journey filled with beautiful coastlines, cliffs and beaches (we’ll stop at one of our favorite beaches along the way). No trip is complete, however, without a stop at a local restaurant to try wine & local delicacies.
