Your daily itinerary:
Day 1: Welcome! Airport pick up and transfer to hotel. Detailed briefing of tour will be given. Depending on your arrival time, we recommend a short test ride to the neighbouring fishing village, which is 5km away. Immerse yourself in the local ambience, taste some fresh seafood and get use to your new bike. Any adjustment to the bike will be made after your ride.
Day 2: This is your first full day on Tenerife! We suggest a ride along the southern coast of Tenerife. Finishing at a protected natural area where you will get to marvel at some volcanic features of the island.
Day 3: Today you will ride a 6% gradient itinerary (600 vertical metres climb in 10km long ride) venturing inland with impressive views. After a well-earned rest, make your way down towards the Atlantic ocean. On a clear day, you can even spot the La Gomera and Gran Canaria islands.
Day 4: Your first challenge today will be to ride up the Teide, highest mountain of Spain. We knows you might cross path with one of the elites who are there to train for the winter season!
Day 5: Today you will island hop on a ferry to the neighbouring island of La Gomera, famed for its lush and green forests. Cycle through the Garajonay National Park to an altitude of 2500 metres where you will be rewarded with stunning views and amazing landscapes.
Day 6: Another challenging route today where you will cycle between the altitude range of 600 and 1100 metres in the north of Tenerife. This part of the island is much greener than in the south and boasts breathtaking mountain sceneries. Practice your technical descending skills on this route full of sharp turns and unexpected bends.
Day 7: On your last day we propose a demanding ascent up again to the Teide mountain, but this time round, along the other side for variety of challenges. Marvel at volcanic landscape that stretches towards the Atlantic sea. On a cloudless day, Gran Canaria island can be seen clearly from up there.
