Full-Day Masca and Teide Tour from North Tenerife — Volcano Views, Ridge Village & Canarian Lunch

The minivan hums southward, windows fogging where ocean air meets cool mountain breath. Pine trunks thin and the road climbs; a cloud layer presses at the valley rims like a slow-moving sea. By the time the doors open at Chipeque viewpoint the world has changed: you stand between green forest and a high, volcanic desert where black lava fields roll toward the cone of Teide. Later, the hamlet of Masca appears on a razor ridge — whitewashed houses clinging to volcanic strata, terraces dropping away into a gorge that seems to dare you to look down.
