From the south-west coast to the Tamaimo climb

Our Los Gigantes tour combines Tenerife’s south-west coastal scenery with a sustained road climb. The opening section gives you time to settle into the ride before the ascent towards Tamaimo. The cliffs provide the backdrop and the tour’s name, but this is not a flat coastal leisure ride.

The usual route starts in the Playa de las Américas area and heads towards Adeje and the coast along the TF-47. Playa San Juan and Alcalá lie along the way before you reach the Los Gigantes area. Enjoy the views while saving enough energy for the climbing ahead.

From Los Gigantes, the road climbs towards Tamaimo. Choose a comfortable gear and a pace you can sustain: a continuous ascent feels different from a series of short hills. The route continues through the Chío and Guía de Isora area before returning south.

The current route is approximately 63 km long. The route information gives 1,450 m of ascent and a duration of 3.5–4 hours as a guide. Check the profile and download the GPX to prepare for the ride, and confirm the arrangements for your booked Monday with our team.

Prepare for your Los Gigantes ride

Is this tour right for you?

The intermediate rating reflects the combination of distance, climbing and descending. It suits riders who already tackle sustained climbs on road rides and can descend confidently. If you mainly ride on flat terrain, ask our team for advice before booking.

Choose your bike and equipment

Check your frame size, gearing and pedal system. If you train with power, check whether your chosen bike has a built-in power meter or compatible optional extras. Bring a helmet, glasses, sun protection and your cycling shoes, and prepare water and food for the ride.

Check the meeting arrangements

This tour is scheduled for Mondays. Check the dates available during booking and confirm the meeting point or collection arrangements with our team. Bike delivery time slots are not the tour’s departure time.
