🗺️ Route Overview

Start your ride from the KUDO Rent office in Puerto de Santiago and gradually climb through Tamaimo and the tranquil village of Chío. From there, the road winds deep into the heart of the island, rising steadily through pine forests until you emerge above the treeline on the surreal lava plains beneath Mount Teide. The summit at Boca Tauce offers one of the most rewarding panoramas on the island.

After the summit, descend the same route back — a long, fast drop from 2,100 m to sea level with sweeping curves and unforgettable views.

🌟 Ride Highlights

• Chío to Teide: 24.5 km of steady climbing through ever-changing landscapes.

• Boca Tauce: The edge of Teide National Park — silent, vast, and otherworldly.

• Lava Fields: Feel like you’re cycling on the moon.

☕ Suggested Stops

• Bar La Estrella (Chío): Classic refuel stop before the real climb begins.

• Boca Tauce Viewpoint: Breathe, hydrate, and enjoy the silence of the volcano.

🚴‍♂️ Ideal For

Experienced cyclists with climbing legs and a love for altitude. While the gradients are steady (mostly 5–6%), the length and altitude make this a serious test.
