Masca Ravine: Guided tour in Tenerife

The picturesque village of Masca, located in the heart of the Teno Massif, is one of the most charming places in Tenerife. This small and charming village, together with the impressive Barranco de Masca, offers a perfect fusion of a spectacular natural landscape, with its vertiginous vertical walls, and the modeling of the terrain due to agricultural use by the inhabitants over the years. To explore Masca is to enter an environment where natural beauty and history are harmoniously intertwined.

Due to variable weather conditions and the limited availability of permits to access the Barranco de Masca, it is imperative to confirm dates prior to booking. This ensures that your experience is carried out safely and smoothly.

Masca Ravine

The Barranco de Masca is, without a doubt, one of the most spectacular hiking activities that can be done in Tenerife. This beautiful tour begins with a short walk through the picturesque hamlet of Masca, and continues with a descent along the path of the ravine, covering approximately 10 km in total (round trip).

The steady descent culminates in a paradisiacal cove, surrounded by the impressive Los Gigantes Cliffs, which rise to about 450 meters above sea level. After a brief rest on this beautiful beach, the return is made ascending from sea level to approximately 600 meters altitude, where the hamlet of Masca is located.

VERY IMPORTANT: In case of failure to comply with any of the necessary conditions, standards, equipment and documentation, the staff of the company in charge of the road control (TRAGSA) will deny access and no reimbursement will be made (Pay special attention with the footwear. It must be mountain shoes with good tread on the sole).

IMPORTANT: Once the purchase has been made, it is pending conformity for a maximum period of 72 hours. Please note that we cannot confirm your reservation until we have issued the access permits managed by Camino de Masca. In case we cannot confirm the reservation, we will offer you an alternative date or proceed to refund the amount paid.
