Itinerary

Day 1: Summit El Teide from the south (90km - 2500m altitude):

The first day we climb from the south to El Teide. We go from Granadilla to Vilaflor. Vilaflor is one of the highest villages in Spain.

After Vilaflor, there's still 900 meters of altitude to go. You climb the last part through the vulcanic landscape with amazing views during the ride. 

Once we reach the top, we take the descent toward Tamaimo. There we will host you for 2 days, in a typical Canarian village in the mountains.

Day 2: Garachico - Punta Teno (55km - 1100m):

We take it easy on the second day, as we have to be prepared for the next day as well. But don't underestimate the beautiful west part of the island. 

We take you with the van to the west part and from there we start our ride. We pass Icod de los Vinos and go all the way along the coastal road to the west point of the island, Punta Teno. The road to Punta Teno goes along a narrow road and are only possible to visit by bike or bus. 

The last part of the ride you climb las cruces. The climb offers enormous beautiful views.

After the ride, we will stop in Santiago del Teide for a little tourist stop. And after we go back to our stay where you can relax and prepare the next day. 

Day 3: Summit El Teide from the north (100km - 2300m ):

Another summit to El Teide, but now from the north side. We take you from your stay to the start point in La Orotava. 

We start climbing immediately with beautiful views over El Teide. 

You will cross the entire parc national de Teide. 

After the summit we go back down to the south part of the island.
