Road Cycling Tenerife - Los Gigantes Route

About this tour

This 3-hour road cycling route hugs Tenerife's southwestern coast from Playa de las Américas toward the towering Los Gigantes cliffs, one of the Canaries' most dramatic geological features. You'll pedal through working fishing settlements like Playa de San Juan and Alcalá, with views across to La Gomera island. An experienced guide leads the way, providing bike, helmet, water and energy fuel.

Highlights

• Los Gigantes cliffs rise dramatically above the Atlantic
• Fishing villages reveal local life beyond resort zones
• Panoramic views toward La Gomera across the water
• Coastal TF-47 road delivers consistent Mediterranean scenery
• Expert guide navigates routes and shares local knowledge

What to expect

You'll start from the main tourist strip and head inland briefly before the road swings toward the coast. The pace varies with terrain, but expect a steady rhythm along established cycling routes. Fishing villages break up the ride—these are working communities, not attractions, so you'll see genuine activity. The cliffs dominate as you progress, growing in scale. Winds off the Atlantic are common; your guide will brief you on handling them. This isn't a leisure cruise: you need genuine road cycling experience and moderate fitness to manage the distance and inclines.
