Description
With more than 80km and 12 spur routes, the Great North Route is an unmissable experience for cyclists and horseriders.
The route begins on the Acebiñal trail in la Esperanza, offering fabulous views of the north-east of the island, from the Anaga Massif to La Laguna. The route continues from east to west along the northern side of Tenerife, crossing through some of the island’s most iconic forest ecosystems, such as monteverde woodland, pine forests, and a combination of pine and monteverde undergrowth.
The landscape of the north coast with the Orotava Valley and the flanks of Mount Teide will be with you for most of the route, before ending in a mesmerising volcanic setting when you leave behind the Teno Massif and La Montañeta.
IBP Index: 120.
