Las Moradas Supertrail
Description
This tour requires you to use your own muscle power, as the bus from Buenavista up to Las Portelas is too small to take bikes. Instead, you have to manage the 600 vertical meters on the pass road yourself. The road has a pleasant gradient and there is little traffic. In Las Portelas, turn left and tackle the steep mountain road, which later changes to a gravel surface, but the gradient becomes more moderate. In this way, you climb up to an altitude of 1100 meters above sea level, where an inconspicuous path branches off to the left - the start of an extraordinary descent!
The trail begins with a section through dense bushes before it suddenly widens and winds its way through a dense forest with moss-covered trees. The route feels almost endless as you circle through this wild and impressive landscape. At one point, the scenery opens up and you get a fantastic view of the rugged gorge landscape, into which you now descend further.
After a short passage on a wider path, the second part of the descent begins on the right. Here, the trail becomes more challenging and, above all, rockier. This solid S2 trail with numerous S3 sections leads through more open terrain, winds impressively along steep mountain flanks and finally ends as a rough mule track on the valley floor, not far from Buenavista. In total, almost ten kilometers of pure singletrail fun!
Note: In Tenerife, driving on the official hiking routes is prohibited. The. However, the ban is consistently ignored by local mountain bikers. It is advisable to avoid the weekends because that is when many locals are out and about. It is the responsibility of each individual to ride this route on a mountain bike, with full awareness of the legal situation.
