Guided exploration of Masca Gorge in Tenerife

Embark on an unforgettable adventure as you explore the iconic Masca Gorge. Descend from a mountain village to a secluded cove nestled beneath the towering Los Gigantes Cliffs, culminating in a scenic boat ride. Prepare for pure exhilaration, awe-inspiring views, and the guidance of an expert local.

Your journey begins with a scenic route to Masca, an experience in itself. Traverse a serpentine mountain road that unveils spectacular viewpoints and sweeping landscapes at every twist and turn. Upon arrival, you'll discover the soulful Masca Hamlet before your hike commences. Savour some leisure time in this charming, timeless village of stone houses encircled by dramatic peaks - a snapshot of authentic Tenerife.

The real adventure unfolds as you embark on the Masca Gorge descent. A 5 km trail guides you through towering volcanic walls and verdant ravines. The sound of running water coupled with the ever-changing scenery creates a thrilling immersion into nature. Your reward awaits at Masca’s hidden cove: a secluded beach framed by the Los Gigantes Cliffs, which rise 450 meters above the ocean. This magical, remote spot is where nature truly reigns supreme.

Conclude your day with a scenic boat trip to Los Gigantes Marina, where you can appreciate the cliffs' grandeur from the sea - a geological spectacle few have the privilege to witness. Rest assured, your guide will handle your return transfer to the meeting point, allowing you to unwind and reminisce about your adventure.
