This loop takes you on a sweeping climb via the TF-38, one of the island’s most peaceful yet dramatic ascents. As you ride through the western flanks of Tenerife, the world transforms from green to black—forests give way to vast lava fields under the shadow of Mount Teide. After cresting the summit near Boca Tauce, the descent begins: a thrilling, uninterrupted glide past Vilaflor, Granadilla, and down to the coast.
The final stretch brings you through undulating terrain past Guaza, Adeje, and Playa San Juan—just enough rollers to stretch your legs before the finish. A perfectly balanced ride for those craving both climbing satisfaction and downhill joy.
TF-38 Climb (Chío to Teide) (24.55 km | 5.5% avg): A scenic and steady climb through lava and pine.
Miradores de los Poleos (11.62 km | 5.6% avg): Endless views and peaceful gradients above the clouds.
Teide to Granadilla (25.23 km | -6.0% avg): One of the longest, smoothest descents on the island.
Guaza Climb (1.30 km | 4.5% avg): A short final punch before the coastal roll home.
Chío or Tamaimo: Great place to fill bottles before heading into the long climb.
Boca Tauce or Teide viewpoints: A quick rest at altitude surrounded by volcanic silence.
Vilaflor: A good place to grab food or water before the final descent.
