La Esperanza. Return via La Orotava  Santa Cruz city centre
Going on towards Las Caņadas, impressive views are seen on both sides of the road. The best scenery of Valle de la Orotava and the Teide can be enjoyed here.
The sight of Pico de las Flores and the Ortuņo are well know.  Las caņadas del Teide Las Caņadas via Vilaflor. Return via Los Gigantes. Leaving the Playa de las Americas or Los Cristianos via C-822, the route rises up to the pretty village of Vilaflor at 1,500 metres. For this one should take the road fork at Arona at 5 kilometres and continue another 13 kilometres further along this road. At Vilaflor it is possible to see the Paisaje Lunar (Moon-Land) although to get there it is necessary to go 8 km. as far as the camp La Madre del Agua along a track which turns right 4 km. after leaving the village towards Las Caņadas and then walk for an hour. From Vilaflor we turn towards Las Caņadas along a road between pines until we reach a right turn 16 km. later which we must take to get to the National Park. Crossing the beatiful Ucanca Plain, we arrive at Roques de Garcia where there is a place to go for a walk and afterwards to the base of the Teide where a cable car goes to the summit. Once we have visited the park, we must return by the same route leaving the road to Vilaflor on the left and continue 30 km. through the deserted landscape as far as Tamaimo along the C-823. At this point one goes to the left in the direction of Los Gigantes. Six kilometres further on one reaches the coast, from where one can contemplate the grandeur of the clifts of Los Gigantes and bathe in the sea. To return to Playa de las Americas it is necessary to proceed 30 km further south along the coastal road. |
