🗺️ Route Overview

Starting from the KUDO Rent office in Puerto de Santiago, this ride begins gently along the coast to Playa San Juan, perfect for warming up your legs. But don’t be fooled — the challenge is coming.

From Playa San Juan, a consistent uphill takes you to Guía de Isora, where the real test begins. The climb through Chirche is notorious: tight switchbacks, narrow roads, and brutal ramps that exceed 20% gradients. It’s a full-body effort and a mental game all the way up.

After reaching the top, you’re rewarded with a fast, flowing descent through Tamaimo — sweeping turns and panoramic views — before returning to the coast.


🔥 Climb Highlights

  • Playa San Juan to Guía de Isora: 9.2 km | 509 m | Avg 5.5%
    A steady, manageable warm-up climb.

  • Chirche Final Push: 1.0 km | 155 m | Avg 15.0%
    Leg-shattering gradients and sharp corners — this is the wall.

  • TF-82 Climb Ramp: 0.43 km | 93 m | Avg 21.4%
    A short segment, but an absolute gut punch.
