Qué puedes esperar
This is one of the most visually breathtaking mountain descents in Tenerife along the TF-38, dropping from the volcanic crater of Mirador de Boca Tauce inside Teide National Park through the black lava fields down to the sunny western town of Chío
The character of the road is defined by its wide, fast, and flowing sweepers over immaculate tarmac. Cutting directly through the historic lava flows of the 1798 Pico Viejo eruption (“Las Narices del Teide”), the route transitions from high-altitude volcanic badlands into resilient Canary pine forests before opening up to broad ocean vistas with La Gomera on the horizon
A deeply relaxing and rhythmic descent with continuous-radius corners that completely avoid stressful, tight hairpins. Time your ride for late afternoon to catch golden hour over the Atlantic, rely on smooth engine braking, and experience the journey on a classic boxer twin like the 2025 BMW R 12 GS
