Tenerife Itinerary

surrounded by imposing cliffs that reach the cliffs of Los Gigantes.

To get to one of the most beautiful points of Tenerife you have to follow a winding road between impressive ravines, but it is well worth reaching this beautiful village. Once there, the Massif of Teno, one of the three formations that gave rise to the island of Tenerife and which can be spotted from Masca, draws our attention.

It is highly recommended to do the descent of the Masca ravine, one of the most outstanding natural spectacles of the island, the walls that surround the whole path, the natural space and the arrival until the same cliff of Los Gigantes, are more than enough reasons to enjoy Masca.

In Masca you can see a series of traditional houses, as well as craft stalls. Noteworthy is the Casa de los Avinculados,, which is the oldest building in the area. Legend has it that the Masca ravine was a refuge for pirates, which gives a more interesting aura to this picturesque place.

has given it the aspect that today has its urban core. Garachico is located on the northwestern slope of the Pico Viejo volcano, and goes down to the coast by a platform of volcanic origin that is known as Isla Baja

 

Precisely an eruption of the Arenas Negras volcano and the rivers of lava that descended down its slope swept in 1706 to Garachico, a prosperous locality thanks to the trade of its port, of which barely remained nothing. Thanks to the solidified remains of lava that fell into the sea, today you can enjoy the natural pools of El Caletón.

 

Between its corners we must not miss the Puerta de la Tierra, the Parroquia Matriz de Santa Ana, or the Castillo Fortaleza de San Miguel. It is also worth noting the photographed Roque de Garachic or, in front of its coasts, Monument and Natural Area of National Interest.
