Ik vond de gids Christel goed. Ze heeft humor en kennis over Tenerife. Iets wat de tour voor mij nog een betere ervaring zou maken is ipv het zelf moeten kopen van een barraquito, dat dit bij de tour inbegrepen zit. En Masca vond ik niet heel erg bijzonder. Misschien lag het aan de regen, maar Christel liet ons zelf op pad gaan. Eventueel had ze ook mee kunnen lopen en ons meer over Masca kunnen vertellen. Al met al een leuke trip met indrukwekkende landschappen.
This exclusive tour explores Tenerife's most dramatic inland areas. You'll venture in an eight-seater minivan through the otherworldly landscapes of Teide National Park, admire the panoramas from countless viewpoints and visit the ridge-top hamlet of Masca. Plus, there's traditional Canarian lunch on the menu, too. Arianne, one of our expert local guides, say, "I love guiding this tour because it's an overdose of nature, focusing on the island's volcanology, from the past to the present."
Your adventure kicks off by heading south into Teide National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – climbing through a dense pine forest. There's a pit stop at Chirche viewpoint, which often overlooks cloud-shrouded terrain below. The scenery around here is still bursting with greenery. But as we journey deeper into the national park, you'll encounter volcanic landscapes that could easily be on the moon, Venus or Mars. Desolate, rock-strewn badlands. A stop at Roques de Garcia allows you to take some pics near these iconic rock formations, with the volcano's cone in the background.
Grab a last look at the lava-scarred landscapes at Poleos viewpoint before dropping into a family-run restaurant for a lunch made from seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Rounding off the day is a visit to Masca – a hard-to-reach hamlet perched on a ridge in a deep volcanic gorge. Enjoy free time to poke around and take in the vistas.
