Tenerife South-North Loop & Mount Teide
A complete island loop starting from the south coast, linking whale watching, Masca, Mount Teide, historic northern towns, and Anaga.
A moderately paced itinerary with six nights split across four bases: the South Coast, Los Gigantes, Puerto de la Cruz, and Santa Cruz, ensuring you never have to backtrack. The Mount Teide Cable Car, the scenic mountain roads of Anaga, and the UNESCO World Heritage site of San Cristóbal de La Laguna are all featured on the northern route, making this ideal for first-time visitors who want to drive. Loro Parque and Siam Park have been omitted, and the road to Punta de Teno is currently closed and not included.
In winter, high-altitude roads may close due to snow, and the cable car frequently suspends operations due to high winds. Keep one day flexible.
