Masca’s hamlet is one of the most unique places in Tenerife. Located in the southwest of Buenavista del Norte midlands, it is one of the must-see places in the municipality and also in Tenerife. Its vertiginous roads and its large cliffs are the two vertices of a triangle that is completed with its ravine.
What to do?
Masca is located in the Teno Rural Park and is one of the greatest expressions of nature. Admiring its landscape is like being in a real Eden
The Masca ravine is one of the main activities to do in the village. In order to descend the ravine, it is necessary to book in advance, since its path is regulated. It is also possible to get there by sea thanks to the companies that offer transfers from and to the Masca Beach pier. On the other hand, it is recommended to go to the hamlet by public transport. Parking is also regulated due to the lack of parking places. There are bus lines that connect the town of Buenavista del Norte with the Hamlet of Masca and Santiago del Teide.
The hamlet is the best option to enjoy a different day in the middle of the purest nature. It is a clear example of Tenerife’s geological beginnings: large stone walls, very distinctive formations and a combination of wild yet welcoming landscapes. If you visit it in winter, you will be able to see how the flora dresses all those walls in green, being worthy of photographing. If you are interested in going deeper into the village, you can walk through its sloping and cobbled streets. You will find the Visitor Center where you can learn more details about this spot in particular.
