Masca Skyline Hike: Teno Massif to Masca

Choose this hike for a demanding but shorter alternative to the full Masca Gorge descent. The route gives you forest, ridges and views into the Masca landscape, with a small group and a guide to lead the way. It is a better fit than a sightseeing coach tour when walking is an important part of the day.

Best for walkers aged 8 and over who are comfortable with a medium-difficulty hike, uneven ground and a public-bus return. The group is limited to about 10 participants, with guiding in English and Spanish. Some previous hiking experience is recommended.

Skip this route if you have knee problems, severe vertigo, are pregnant or want a relaxed sightseeing day. It is not the Masca Gorge descent, but it still includes sustained walking over uneven terrain. Hotel pickup is not included, and the available admission is not marked wheelchair accessible.

Meet the guide at Las Portelas bus stop 4549 in the El Palmar area at the time shown in your confirmation.

Walk through green forest and along the Teno ridges towards Masca village. The guided route covers about 3.65 km over approximately 3.5 hours and includes uneven and sometimes exposed sections.

The route finishes in Masca. Return to the starting area by public bus, arranging the fare yourself. Food and drinks are not included, so bring water and snacks.

Reach Las Portelas independently and arrive before the meeting time in your confirmation. Hotel pickup is not included. Bring sturdy hiking shoes, water, sun protection and snacks.
