THE ISLAND OF A THOUSAND EXPERIENCES
This tour should be on every cyclist’s bucket list. Over 6 days on the spectacular island of Tenerife, you’ll get the chance to ascend the famous Mount Teide (2,350 m) three times, enjoy fantastic local dishes and make like-minded, adventurous new friends.
This tour will start in the charming seaside town of Los Cristianos on the south-west coast of Tenerife. It is an ideal location to kick off this six-day adventure and also where this tour will be based. No matter your experience on the bike, we offer a range of short, medium and long routes to choose from each day, not to mention you will receive the full support of the Epico team to make sure you are having a great time.
You will also be accompanied by a support van on each route during this tour around one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Please note that each day you will get to choose from three routes that vary in difficulty. The short route normally starts at the base of the climb and you will just ride up and down. The medium and long ride groups will ride some extra distance and elevation and will take a longer route back to the hotel.
Flights not included. Direct flights available at lastminute.com
Our experienced on-the-ground team will guide and support you throughout the tour. They know the area like the back of their hand and are always eager to share their insider knowledge about its hidden gems, including local legends and cycling tips!
You’ll be getting to experience one of the world's greatest cycling spots. The excellent, empty roads, jaw-dropping views and vibrant Spanish culture is a recipe for an outstanding riding holiday. Prepare for an experience of a lifetime
Each hotel is carefully selected in dreamy locations. You'll feel well rested after each day in the saddle throughout your trip. Every hotel is of a high standard with fantastic facilities and well catered towards cyclists to make the trip even more memorable.
Tenerife is the island of a thousand experiences. It is the largest of the Canary Islands, and because of the mild climate and vast array of activities available, there are a thousand things to do at any time of year. Spend the day at the beach, ride along one of the mountain trails, discover impressive volcanoes and otherworldly landscapes, as well as striking ravines and cliffs. Spend an evening in great company gazing at the endless stars or make your dream of seeing dolphins and whales swimming in the wild a reality!
Tenerife has a very warm, Mediterranean climate and 365 days of sunshine! Its geographical location means that Tenerife enjoys wonderfully long days all year round, with the sun rising at around 7:30 am and setting at 6:30 pm in winter, and rising at 7:00 am and setting at 8:30 pm in summer.
The island is dominated by Mount Teide, a volcano that stands 12,198 feet (3,718 metres) tall and is the highest mountain in the Spanish territories. Many resorts on the island (and even the other Canary Islands) have spectacular views of this massive peak.
Tenerife is surrounded by Spanish and Canarian culture, with the Spanish way of life taking precedence in the island's quaint villages, architecture that is typically Spanish, and a festival lineup that comes directly from Spain. The Sabandeno Festival in La Laguna is a full-on celebration of Canarian culture.
Our route on Day 2 involves several smaller climbs, in comparison to other days that feature one long climb. The long ride group will tackle a couple of tougher and steeper sections, while the medium and short ride groups will head up and down more gradual ascents and descents.
