The route is mostly asphalt, includes a stop in the mountain town of Vilaflor, and ends at Boca del Tauce with time to walk and photograph the lunar landscape beneath Spain's highest peak.

The Experience

You're thinking it might be too touristy, or maybe you're not confident enough on a bike—but then you realize you've got a valid driving license and four hours free, and suddenly it makes sense. The quad tour from Playa de las Américas climbs 2,400 meters into Teide National Park, which means you're not just riding; you're ascending into a completely different world. The route is mostly asphalt, which sounds less dramatic until you realize that's what lets you actually get there without destroying the park, and it means the ride stays smooth even as the air gets thinner and the landscape starts to look like another planet.

Pickup happens in the south—Playa de las Américas, Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos, or a couple of other spots—and then you're on the quad heading inland through Arona and La Escalona. The guide leads, and you follow the route through forests that gradually thin out as you climb. Around halfway, you stop in Vilaflor, a small town where you can stretch, grab a drink, use the bathroom, whatever you need before the final push. It's not rushed. After that, the landscape shifts. Trees disappear. The ground turns volcanic and gray, and Mount Teide—at 3,760 meters, the highest peak in Spain—sits there the whole time, getting closer and more real.

Once you're inside the National Park and reach Boca del Tauce, you stop for real. There's time to walk around, take photos, breathe the thin mountain air, and just stand there looking at the view. It's the kind of moment where you're glad you didn't skip it. The whole thing takes four hours, and you're back before the afternoon is done. You need to be at least 25, hold a valid driving license you've had for two years, and weigh under 160 kilos—that's it. The guide, helmet, and insurance are all included.

What’s included

  • Your tour includes hotel pickup from Playa de las Américas, Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos, Costa del Silencio, Playa Paraíso or Golf del Sur.
  • an approved helmet.
  • a guide-monitor who leads the route.
  • and civil liability and accident insurance covering you for the duration. You'll ride for four hours covering 90 kilometers, with a stop in Vilaflor and time to explore Boca del Tauce inside the National Park.
