Excursión guiada al Parque Nacional del Teide en Quad

Guided quad tour of Teide National Park, departing from Granadilla de Abona and covering a route of about 70 kilometres across the slopes of Spain's highest volcano.

The activity consists of riding your own quad bike along a route of about 70 kilometres that starts in Granadilla de Abona. The itinerary climbs some 2,400 metres along the slopes of Teide, leaving the forest vegetation behind and entering volcanic terrain with an almost lunar appearance.

During the ascent, views of the ocean open up and, when the sky is clear, it is possible to make out the islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro. At the highest point the group stops at Las Cañadas, where there are viewpoints such as the Llano de Ucanca and the Zapato de la Reina. There is free time to photograph the peak, while the guide explains the history and geology of the volcano.

The route is entirely on tarmac, a decision made to protect this area of high environmental value. It is an activity aimed at those who want to combine driving a vehicle with a guided visit to the Teide area.
