8. Masca Walk
Hiking the Masca Barranco in Tenerife is a unique adventure in itself. It’s not an easy trail to hike, therefore we highly recommend mountain boots for this trip. The walk is unbelievably beautiful, however many visitors carry a stick to cover the distance quickly. This gigantic mountainous terrain is flourished with flora and fauna, although the ever changing weather requires everyone to be prepared. It’s a strenuous walk, and as much as nature lovers enjoy it, we don’t recommend it to people with heart and blood pressure problems.
