17/08/2025Hiking

Visiting Masca is like traveling back in time. This small hamlet, located in the Teno Rural Park, in the northwest of Tenerife, offers a spectacular landscape of ravines, mountains and native vegetation. Known as the “Machu Picchu of the Canary Islands”, Masca invites us to walk through its cobblestone streets, enjoy its traditional houses and contemplate breathtaking views of the cliffs of Los Gigantes.

It is a perfect spot for nature lovers, hikers and photographers. From here starts one of the most famous hiking trails on the island: the path that connects Masca with the coast. Its authentic charm, far from mass tourism, makes Masca a must-see stop in Tenerife.
