Overview

We meet at the bus stop by the Plaza de Santiago del Teide, where the guide welcomes you and explains the route. A scenic drive through the mountains leads to the picturesque village of Masca, where you'll have time to explore before starting the hike. The 5 km trail descends through a dramatic volcanic gorge, surrounded by towering cliffs and lush vegetation. At the end lies a hidden cove beneath the majestic Los Gigantes cliffs.
