This is the only hiking tour that explores the hidden laurel forest above Masca — a unique route unknown to most visitors. It combines panoramic views of Teide and Masca with a walk through an enchanted, mist-filled forest, accessible only with a guide.
We offer hotel pickup, a picnic in a nature, and a photo package (20–40 photos in a good quality). The route crosses several microclimates, giving you a complete picture of Tenerife’s dramatic natural diversity — all in one exclusive hike with small groups.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Free hotel pick-up and drop-off are included within the southern coastal zone of Tenerife — specifically along the coast between Los Gigantes and Los Cristianos. This includes (but is not limited to): Los Gigantes, Alcalá, Playa San Juan, Playa Paraíso, Callao Salvaje, La Caleta, Costa Adeje, Adeje, Playa de Las Américas and Los Cristianos. If you're staying outside this zone, you can easily reach us by car, taxi, or public bus. The most convenient meeting point is in Santiago del Teide, or alternatively in one of the listed coastal towns. After booking, please send us your hotel or apartment location via WhatsApp, ideally as a Google Maps link. If you don’t know your exact accommodation at the time of booking, just let us know as soon as you have it. We will provide your exact pick-up time and the closest meeting point promptly after receiving your location, and no later than the evening before the tour. On the morning of the tour, your driver may also send a short WhatsApp update with precise timing or location adjustments, depending on traffic or conditions. Please be at the designated pick-up point 3–5 minutes before the scheduled time, as in some locations parking is limited or short stops only are allowed.
What to expect
We pick you up directly from your hotel and head west, where the hike begins with a steady ascent toward a fragrant pine forest. As we gain altitude, panoramic views unfold — Mount Teide, volcanic landscapes, and the rugged ridges of Teno.
Following a scenic trail along the high ridge above Masca, you'll enjoy stunning views of the Masca valley, Los Gigantes cliffs, and, on clear days, the islands of La Gomera and La Palma.
We stop for a picnic in peaceful nature before entering a hidden laurel forest. Here, twisted trees, ferns, and moss create a magical setting. On some days, we walk through clouds, making the forest feel truly enchanted.
Throughout the hike, your guide shares fascinating stories about the land, nature, and Canarian life — all in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
The trail ends with a gentle descent and return drive to your hotel. After the tour, you'll receive a selection of high-quality photos — and sometimes a short video — as a memory of your day.
