VILAFLOR

A high-altitude loop that goes by pine woods, laurel forests and volcanic landscapes. Includes remote areas and there are only a few towns where to find accommodation and resupply. The route mainly goes on untechnical double tracks but includes a few rocky sections and 1 hour hike-a-bike. Ideally ridden on mountain bikes or gravel bikes with a 45mm minimum tire width. You can join the loop climbing to Vilaflor from Tenerife South airport on the TF-21. The loop can be ridden in 2-3 days,  there are no resupply or accommodation options between Erjos and Vilaflor.
