From Volcano to the Ocean in the turn of a wheel! What could be more exhilarating than hurtling down the sides of the Canarian Volcano, Mount Teide until you reach the frothy waves of the Atlantic Ocean? This is an adventure for thrill seekers and leisurely cyclists alike. This is perhaps one of the best ways to witness the beauty of the Pine forests on the slopes of Mount Teide and to become one with nature.
The bike tour is approximately 22 miles long and you will be taken aback by all the beauty of your surroundings. You will cycle through the Pine forests among a plethora of wildlife both flora and fauna. Mount Teide will accompany you for much of the ride as you begin cycling from its slopes until it becomes a shadow on your shoulder. You will continue downhill until you reach the Ocean where you can look back with your only regret being to be able to do it all again!Â
As a downhill tour there is almost no need to pedal, making this tour relaxing and fulfilling while covering a great distance over the island!
