Transport
Die Tour begann mit einem 20 minütigen Tankstopp, nachdem es bereits beim Abholen 20 Min. Verspätung gab. Leider gab es nur wenige (gute) Fotostopps. Man musste mehrheitlich durch die Fensterscheibe fotografieren. Bei den andern Stopps war nur wenig Zeit eingerechnet. Warum man in Vilaflor 15 Min (bei einer Bar und nicht mal im Dorf ) hält, ist sehr fragwürdig. Besser bei den Roques de Garcia mehr Zeit einrechnen.
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.
