SELECCIÓN MTB TENERIFE: Tacoronte – Las Lagunetas

The north of Tenerife is a true paradise for gravel and mountain biking.

And a good demonstration is this route that will take you through the unique dirt tracks, of a much darker colour than you are used to due to the mixture of earth and volcanic rock.

We leave Tacoronte and climb up to Agua Fría, on asphalt, until we join the dirt track to the Pista de Fuente Fría.

A little before the 6 kilometres of ascent we will turn towards the Pista los Covachos, linking up with the Pista el Rayo, adding up to almost 15 kilometres of fairly flat trails, or even with a negative slope, to enjoy them to the maximum before starting the return on this route.

We will do this with the ascent to the Lomo la Bandera track, which we will link with the ascent of Los Asientos to the Risco Atravesado track via Las Torrillas.

From here, we will enjoy the descent, through Pino Carretón and taking the Fuente Fría track again to return to Tacoronte by the same way we came up.
