Cycling route in the northwest of Tenerife

Climb mountain passes to the Teno Mountain range

With its starting and finishing point in the marina in the cliffs of Los Gigantes, in the extreme northwest of Tenerife, this mountain pass route leads to the town of Santiago del Telde, before taking the winding road which takes us to the pretty hamlet of Masca. At this point we come upon the terrain dominated by the Teno mountain range, a spectacular spot, full of beautiful valleys and steep cliffs, where the slopes of the deep ravines whose walls have an incline of more than 1,000 metres have to be negotiated.

Cycle around Isla Baja

From one beautiful landscape to another, this one emerges while going along the valley of El Palmar as far as Buenavista. Here we are in what is known as Isla Baja, the bike goes along gently among banana groves for 10 kilometres. What is left is the climb to Garachico, one of the prettiest coastal towns in Spain, to Icod de Los Vinos with its millennium Dragon tree and to the Erjos mountain pass at an altitude of 1,100 metres. The final effort leads into Santiago del Teide and Arguayo with a loop as an alternative to the final descent.
