Ciclismo - Ruta 1

The cycling route connecting Garachico – Erjos – Santiago del Teide – Masca – Buenavista – Garachico is a true icon for cycling enthusiasts in Tenerife. It's a circular route that combines effort, spectacular scenery, and iconic roads. The starting point is usually Garachico, with its volcanic coastline, and the immediate ascent to Erjos, a long and demanding climb between curves and landscapes of laurel and pine forest, requiring good physical fitness.

From Erjos, the route eases until reaching Santiago del Teide, a perfect place to regain strength before embarking on one of the most famous sections of the island: the descent to Masca. Here, the tight curves and extreme gradients offer an intense and technical experience, surrounded by deep ravines and breathtaking views. The descent, as tough as it is spectacular, becomes one of the highlights of the route.

After Masca, the route continues toward Buenavista del Norte, now along the coast, where the sea accompanies the pedals until the return to Garachico. This combination of mountains and coastline, of demanding slopes and vertiginous descents, makes this route one of the most complete and challenging in Tenerife. It's not only a first-class physical challenge but also an unparalleled visual experience, ideal for cyclists who want to experience the island in its purest form.
