The classic south-side Teide approach — leave Playa de las Américas, climb through historic Arona and Vilaflor, then push into Teide National Park with over 2,700 m of gain. Roque Cinchado and the high volcanic plateau are within reach on this demanding loop designed for fit road riders staying in Costa Adeje or Los Cristianos.
Check weather and wind before you go — especially on Teide above 2,000 m. Start early to avoid heat, traffic, and afternoon trade winds. Download the GPX below and charge your GPS or phone.
