Tour
Something completely different awaits with this stunning tour directly to the Atlantic on the west side of Tenerife. Starting at Garachico Port, you will head to Los Silos.
The whale skeleton displayed there of a marine mammal that reached the coast many years ago is the perfect place for a brief rest and to take some photos. You will then follow a sandy trail with some stones alongside the sea to Buenavista. This region on the island was once a highly valued hideout among international pirates who also carried out their illegal business on the Canary Islands. From here you will take a gentle ascent to Punto de Teno where a lighthouse marks the westernmost point on Tenerife with excellent views of the coastal region of Los Gigantes. Your return takes in unlit tunnels, which can be a little scary. ;o) At Buenavista you will recharge you batteries and then tackle the long ride back to Puerto de la Cruz. To do so, you must climb a few hundred metres to then cross the Orotava Valley via Icod el Alto. Your bike battery will be empty but your mind will be imprinted with magnificent views, and your memory card full of amazing photos.
