Recommended bike for this route

Endurance road bike with compact gearing — long coastal miles and the steep Masca switchbacks.

Rent the right bike in Tenerife

The big west-coast day from our Las Américas shop — north along the coast past Adeje and Guía de Isora, then up into the Teno mountains for the famous switchbacks around Masca, and back down to the south. One of the most spectacular rides on Tenerife; take food, water and a light for the way home.
