HIKING THROUGH THE MASCA GORGE TRAIL
The Masca Gorge Trail is one of the greatest attractions in Tenerife A natural area nestled in the heart of Teno massif that allows you to explore one of the most ancient parts of the island. At the same time we will be enjoying one of the most spectacular hiking trails that can be done on site.
The hike through the Masca Gorge Trail begins at Los Gigantes Marina where we will take a taxi (price included) to the small hamlet of Masca. Here you will find an asset of Cultural Interest, it barely has 100 inhabitants and treasures a sample of the ethnography that this place hides. In addition, we can find a beautiful representation of traditional Canarian architecture.
Book with us and enjoy a day hiking through the Masca Gorge Trail together with our english speaking guide down to the beautiful black sandy beach of Masca a wild place located between the famous cliffs of Los Gigantes where you can rest before you can make your way by sea back to Los Gigantes port (tickets included in the price of the tour).
This hiking activity through the Masca Gorge begins at Los Gigantes Marina at 11:15 a.m. Transport to Masca will take about 45 minutes.
Once we arrive at Masca, we will begin the descent down the ravine, which will take us about 3.5 hours, while the entire activity (including transfers) will last between 5 and 6 hours.
