An easy MTB tour designed for all nature lovers who may not be trained as competitive athletes but are still comfortable with off-road cycling.
Los Cristianos • Malpaís de la Rasca • Rasca Lighthouse • Las galletas • Costa del Silencio • Montaña Amarilla
The tour begins with a comfortable minivan pick-up from your hotel. After a short briefing at our operational base and a quick setup and adjustment of the bikes — which will travel with us on the vehicle — we will safely cross the popular tourist areas of Las Américas and Los Cristianos.
Leaving the town behind, we’ll ascend the extinct volcano of Guaza by car, gaining around 80 meters of altitude, before reaching the starting point of our off-road MTB route.
From here, we continue by bike for approximately 25 km, away from asphalt roads and fully immersed in the nature of the Canary Islands — riding through the Malpaís de la Rasca Special Nature Reserve near Pal-Mar. The area features typical coastal vegetation such as cardoons, euphorbia, prickly pear, and other native species.
We’ll leave Pal-Mar only after taking the must-have photo of the cliffs from the old roadman’s house beneath the Rasca Lighthouse — a true classic. Then, we continue towards one of the oldest seaside villages in the south of Tenerife: Las Galletas, a charming fishing town filled with boats, seagulls, and the scent of the sea.
Here, we’ll stop on the seafront at one of the beachside cafés to enjoy a typical leche leche (coffee with condensed milk) and refill our water bottles.
We’ll then leave this beautiful spot and cross the Costa del Silencio for a short stretch before re-entering the off-road trail for another 7 km, heading towards the Montaña Amarilla volcano.
From here, we’ll follow a short road section back to base — the perfect end to a wonderful day of cycling in Tenerife.
