About this activity

Our ride to Mount Teide has become an iconic ´must do´ ride in the past few years and our approach from the west side is our most popular! You can start from Chio or Los Paleos-13 kilometres and 600 metres up the mountain. You´ll enjoy spectacular views of the Teno mountain range and the neighbouring islands of La Gomera and La Palma as you ride ever closer to the great mountain!

The next stop is Boca Tauce where you have the chance to get up close to the majestic volcano that last erupted over 100 years ago! From here we´ll ride some extra kilometres in to the crater to marvel at the mountain from a different perspective-it´s a unique experience riding at over 2000 metres above sea level. As with all of our tours, our riders can go at their own speed whilst being looked after by our on-the-road guides and our vehicle support!

Following a climb back out of the carter, we´ll regroup at Retamar and prepare for our 25 kilometre decent where a typical Canarian lunch awaits at our café in San Miguel where we can share our experiences of a truly special day! The tour ends with an optional downhill section to Las Americas where the tour concludes.

I would highly recommend this tour for athlete or any adrenaline junkies. There is long stretch of incline with the gradient of 8-9, hence, your training plan before the ride should focus on endurance training. There was about 22 km downhill in the whole climb, and there are many stretches where the downhill is long and straight on smooth tarmac road , make it a perfect spot for fearless adrenaline junkies to go down the mountain. The carbon bike that we hire was superb, the tour organiser was very organise food, drink, support, knowledge,options of routes for different levels. The sight is amazing, and there is no other better way to explore Tiede than by riding it. It really is ride at your own pace . The guide has got a very good knowledge about cycling in the area and throughout the whole journey, you will feel throughly supported. We stopped at a village San Miguel for lunch and it was lovely way to refuel. It is definitely an experience not to be missed!
