Transport
La visite a duré 8 h. Avec 1 h d’arrêt à Masca, un repas d’´environ 1h au restaurant, 5 minutes pour prendre la photo du Teide et 6 h de voiture. La voiture n’avait que des petites fenêtres, pas de chance j’étais à la mauvaise place et je n’ai rien vu durant tout le trajet. Le chauffeur nous a fait faire le tour de l’île en voiture a pierrot d Cruz i s’est dirigé vers St Cruz de Tenerife. J’ai donc passé ma journée à faire de la route. Même pas le temps de se promener au tour du restaurant.
This exclusive tour explores Tenerife's most dramatic inland areas. You'll venture in an eight-seater minivan through the otherworldly landscapes of Teide National Park, admire the panoramas from countless viewpoints and visit the ridge-top hamlet of Masca. Plus, there's traditional Canarian lunch on the menu, too. Arianne, one of our expert local guides, say, "I love guiding this tour because it's an overdose of nature, focusing on the island's volcanology, from the past to the present."
Your adventure kicks off by heading south into Teide National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – climbing through a dense pine forest. There's a pit stop at Chirche viewpoint, which often overlooks cloud-shrouded terrain below. The scenery around here is still bursting with greenery. But as we journey deeper into the national park, you'll encounter volcanic landscapes that could easily be on the moon, Venus or Mars. Desolate, rock-strewn badlands. A stop at Roques de Garcia allows you to take some pics near these iconic rock formations, with the volcano's cone in the background.
Grab a last look at the lava-scarred landscapes at Poleos viewpoint before dropping into a family-run restaurant for a lunch made from seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Rounding off the day is a visit to Masca – a hard-to-reach hamlet perched on a ridge in a deep volcanic gorge. Enjoy free time to poke around and take in the vistas.
