Up and dooooowwwn el Teide

From La Orotava, this route takes you all the way up to El Portillo and toward the Teide Observatory, a climb of nearly 2000 meters. From there, follow the road down into the Las Lagunetas Protected Landscape, heading toward San Cristobal de La Laguna and then down to the coast. It’s a descent that stretches for almost 50 kilometers. For the final part, ride parallel to the coastline to make your way back into town.
