A beautiful way to discover the hidden side of Tenerife

This was one of the most memorable tours I’ve done in Tenerife. I had already visited the island before and explored quite a lot on my own, but this experience showed me a completely different side of Masca and Teno Mountains. The route was beautiful and very well chosen. Our guide, Eugene, was amazing - very professional and knowledgeable. He shared so many details about the nature, history, and local life of this part of Tenerife that it made the whole trip feel much more meaningful and helped us see the area from a completely different perspective. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience a lesser-known, more authentic side of the island!

SUPER!!!

It was an amazing hike! It was quite cold, muddy, and humid on the day of our trek, with plenty of rocks underfoot, but it was absolutely worth it. The views from up there are incredible, and the enchanted forest is a truly magical place that you simply have to see for yourself. Alex is a fantastic guide who confidently led us through the narrowest paths, and at times we even had to scramble over fallen trees! I highly recommend taking this route with Alex and the team if you are planning a trip to Tenerife.

Breathtaking experience

I never expected to see such beautiful places in Tenerife! Best of all, it’s all located right near the main road. We just turned off, drove about 200 meters, and started our hike. We began with a short 15-minute uphill walk, then headed through a pine forest. The most breathtaking part started when we reached the summit at an altitude of 1,300 meters. The 360-degree panoramic view was absolutely stunning, especially in the morning light! We saw a few other small groups on the trail, but we were the only ones who climbed all the way to this peak. The second part of the hike was calm and relaxing, especially when we entered the laurel forest. As if by magic, a mist rolled in, which added a really special charm to the experience. Beyond all praise!

BEST TRIP TO TENERIFE

Definitely one of the best parts of our trip to Tenerife. Eugenio was a great guide. We really liked that the group was small and that they picked us up right from the hotel. The views were amazing the whole time—highly recommended!

What a great hike!

This hiking program was amazing! Even though we walked 7.5 kilometers, it didn't feel tiring at all. After the hike, the guide sent us a cool 3D video showing our route and the terrain. It was also incredibly nice of him to lend me a backpack. The trekking poles were super helpful too, especially since I was just wearing regular sneakers. To top it all off, we got so lucky with the weather — the visibility was absolutely perfect.

Operator response

Hi Roberto, Thank you so much for the great review. 🏔️ It was a pleasure hiking with you, and I am glad the gear and the 3D video were useful. Next time, we can make the route more challenging and head to Roque Tarucho. It is a path that only our team knows, and this area still hides many secrets. 🎒 Best regards, Eugenio

The most incredible route

I am very happy to have taken this hiking route. At first, I was a bit reluctant to wake up early, but it was definitely worth it. We were rewarded with spectacular views of the entire area of the last volcanic eruption and saw a great variety of colors in the landscape. Our guide, Eugenio, was very attentive, cultured, and above all, it is clear that he is in love with Tenerife and his work. A one hundred percent recommendable experience!

Operator response

Hola Carmen, Muchas gracias por tu comentario. 🏔️ La próxima vez podemos hacer esta misma ruta por la tarde. Así no tendrás que madrugar y podrás disfrutar de Roque Tarucho con otra luz. ¡Te esperamos! 🌅 Saludos cordiales, Eugenio

Perfect Early Morning Hike with Incredible Views

An excellent hike. The views are absolutely stunning, especially early in the morning. I chose the 7 AM start, and I'm so glad I did. Our group was small, just four people plus our guide, Eugenio. He’s a great conversationalist and tells really interesting stories about the island, particularly about the last volcanic eruption in 1909 that happened right near our route. Highly recommended.

Operator response

Hi Mark, Thank you so much for your words! Next time you visit Tenerife, I will gladly offer you another exciting tour through the Canary jungle, with stunning waterfalls as the highlight. 🪵💦 Best regards, Eugenio

I really enjoyed this travel experience!

I really enjoyed this travel experience. It was a small and more select group of just five people in total including our guide Eugenio. It wasn't the typical bus tour. We all got along very well and could talk to each other frequently throughout the day. Our guide Eugenio was very kind and often explained the local plants and landscapes we encountered along the way. He also took high-quality photos of us at many different spots. He stayed in constant contact and kept us encouraged the entire time. We had a great time together and the journey itself was excellent. We crossed through different types of vegetation and altitudes enjoying the contrasting landscapes on the different slopes of Tenerife. Overall the hike was relatively easy. The climb isn't very intense but the air quality is incredibly good and you can truly feel the wild nature of the island in a safe way. If you have already visited the main peak and want to experience the windward side and the other face of Tenerife I highly recommend joining this group as it offers excellent value for money.
