The experience

The route starts at 9 a.m. from Calle Portugal in Puerto de la Cruz and winds through some of Tenerife's most dramatic terrain. You'll ride past the town of Vilaflor, climb toward Izaña, pass the Chipeque viewpoint and cut through Las Lagunetas forest: all while Teide, Spain's highest peak, rises in the distance. The 180-kilometer loop takes roughly 7 hours and lets you see the volcanic landscape that makes Teide National Park the most visited national park in Spain.

You provide your own A2-licensed motorcycle and the operator supplies the helmet, gloves, jacket, fuel and insurance. An intercom system connects you to the guide throughout the ride, so you can hear directions and stay in contact. The tour includes a coffee or drink stop along the way. The guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian depending on the group.

This is a full-day commitment on two wheels, so you'll want moderate fitness and comfort handling a motorcycle for extended periods. The route is steady rather than technical, but the elevation and the distance mean stamina matters. Riders with spinal injuries, cardiovascular concerns or pregnancy should skip this one.
