Masca Gorge on Tenerife island

Masca Gorge is a popular tourist destination on the island of Tenerife. The route is a 3-hour, 7.5 km descent through the deep canyon. Starting point is in the village of Masca, where you need to book a boat to Los Gigantes (10 euros). Booking can be made in Los Gigantes too. Boat runs a few times a day, check timetable here or here.

Canyon is nice place on a hot day, as most of the way you will go in the shadow. Take sandwiches and plenty of water.
