Masca Ravine Guided Tour
The picturesque village of Masca, nestled in the heart of the Teno Massif, is one of Tenerife's most enchanting spots. This charming little village, along with the breathtaking Masca Gorge, offers a perfect blend of spectacular natural scenery, with its dizzying vertical walls, and the landscape shaped by centuries of agricultural use by its inhabitants. Exploring Masca is to immerse yourself in an environment where natural beauty and history intertwine harmoniously.
Due to variable weather conditions and limited permit availability for accessing the Masca Gorge, it is essential to confirm dates before booking. This ensures a safe and smooth experience.
Masca Ravine
The Masca Gorge is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular hiking experiences in Tenerife. This beautiful route begins with a short stroll through the picturesque hamlet of Masca and continues with a descent along the gorge trail, covering approximately 5 km through an impressive canyon. Surrounded by volcanic rock walls hundreds of meters high, this descent will immerse you in a wild and fascinating world.
The steady descent culminates in a paradisiacal cove, surrounded by the impressive Cliffs of Los Gigantes, which rise to a height of approximately 450 meters. After a short break on this beautiful beach, the return journey is by boat, which will take us back to the Los Gigantes Marina. During the trip, you will enjoy a unique perspective of these colossal cliffs that plunge dramatically into the Atlantic Ocean.
After a full day we will take care of transferring you to the meeting point so you don't have to worry about anything.
