What to expect
You'll begin with a mandatory safety briefing and equipment check in Puerto de la Cruz. The route climbs steadily through winding mountain roads, passing restored colonial townhouses in La Orotava before entering the national park. Altitude gain is steady rather than brutal—most riders find the pace manageable, though the thin air at 2,280m affects some. Expect roughly 90 minutes of riding split by a 30-minute stop at Corral del Niño for photos and a light bite. The descent follows the same route but feels faster.
Good to know

Moderate fitness essential. No hotel transfers included; arrange your own transport to the departure point. Wear sturdy footwear you don't mind getting dusty.
