🗺️ Route Overview

Begin from KUDO Rent in Puerto de Santiago and climb steadily through Santiago del Teide before plunging into the rugged, unforgettable gorge of Masca. The descent is steep and twisty — thrilling yet technical — leading you into the lush Teno mountains and down to the coastal village of Buenavista del Norte.

Follow the shoreline to Garachico, a historic town by the sea, perfect for a café stop and a moment of calm. The route then heads inland again through Icod de los Vinos and climbs sharply through La Montañeta, bringing you back over the spine of the island before the final long descent home.

This is a true endurance ride with both vertical and visual rewards.
