Teide Masca (Gran Tour)

On this tour, we will spend a full day exploring the most iconic spots in the northern part of Tenerife.

Our first stop will be in Teide National Park, located in the heart of Tenerife at an altitude of about 2,000 meters above sea level. Here, you’ll find the highest peak in Spain: Mount Teide. We will pause for around 30 minutes to take in the stunning volcanic landscapes of Las Cañadas del Teide, including the famous Roques de García.

Following this, we will descend to Icod de los Vinos, where you’ll have the chance to see the famous Millenary Dragon Tree, believed to be over 800 years old.

You will have free time to have lunch on your own or enjoy Canarian cuisine by trying one of the recommended menus at local restaurants.

Next, we will visit Garachico, a charming coastal village whose history was shaped by a volcanic eruption in 1706. We’ll stroll through its historic center, recognized as a Cultural Heritage Site and one of the most representative in the Canary Islands. You’ll also discover notable landmarks such as the natural pools of El Caletón, formed by lava flows, and the San Miguel Castle, an old fortress that once protected the town from pirate attacks.

Our journey will continue through the lush landscapes of the Teno Rural Park until we reach the village of Masca, nestled among impressive valleys and ravines. Here, you can admire the traditional architecture of this village, which has been declared a Site of Ethnographic and Historical Interest and a Cultural Heritage Site.
