Description
Embark on an unforgettable adventure descending the impressive Barranco de Masca ravine, and relax afterwards with a boat ride along the imposing cliffs of Los Gigantes.
The Barranco de Masca offers one of the most impressive hiking experiences in Tenerife.
The Barranco de Masca has always been one of the most demanded hiking activities on the island of Tenerife. Since a few years ago, for an adequate enjoyment, it has a limited quota of daily places. In addition, it is a demanding trail, not without risks, so it is highly recommended to be accompanied by an expert tour guide.
This adventure begins at the Los Gigantes Marina, where we will take a shuttle to the traditional hamlet of Masca. From there, we will begin the 5 km descent through the Masca Ravine, crossing dramatic landscapes until we reach a paradisiacal cove at the foot of the imposing Los Gigantes Cliffs, which reach 450 meters in height. In this area, for safety reasons, bathing is currently not allowed. After a short break to enjoy the surroundings, we will take a boat and sail back to Los Gigantes Marina, enjoying unbeatable views of the coast. This medium-difficulty activity combines the excitement of hiking with the tranquility of a relaxing boat ride, ideal for those seeking adventure and serenity.
Meeting point and time: Los Gigantes Marina (next to the entrance control barrier). It is advisable to arrive with some time in advance to park. We recommend trying to park in the streets before arriving at the pier. In case it is not possible, you should use the services of the private parking of the Marina. Approximate price: 2 €/hour.
Duration: Hiking: 3.5 hours. Boat ride: 20 min approximately. Complete activity with transfers: 5-6 hours approx.
