Rising from the sun-drenched shores of Playa Las Américas, the quad excursion offered by Tour2B cuts an unforgettable path through Tenerife’s wild heart, finishing at the dramatic Las Cañadas del Teide National Park. This four-hour, 90-kilometer ride traverses a remarkable elevation gain of 2,400 meters, transitioning from coastal heat to the crisp alpine air surrounding Spain's highest peak, Mount Teide—standing tall at 3,760 meters. The journey unfolds over diverse terrain, mostly asphalt with a strategic 15% on dirt trails, respecting the national park’s strict environmental protection.
Starting in the lively south coast resort area, riders head inland through the Arona and La Escalona municipalities. A pivotal pause comes in Vilaflor, the highest village on Tenerife, where visitors can savor local hospitality and recharge before ascending higher. En route, thick pine forests give way to the park’s famed otherworldly volcanic landscape — a vast expanse of rugged, lunar-like rock formations carved by centuries of volcanic activity.
