Masca Gorge in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, is a popular hiking destination known for its stunning natural beauty and challenging trails. The hike typically takes 3-6 hours depending on your pace and whether you choose to hike down to the beach and back up, or take a boat back to Los Gigantes. Accessibility can be difficult; the hike is strenuous and involves steep inclines and uneven terrain, making it unsuitable for those with mobility issues. While solo hiking is possible for experienced hikers, guided tours are recommended, especially for less experienced individuals, due to the trail's difficulty and potential for getting lost. The gorge is sometimes closed due to weather conditions or maintenance, so checking conditions beforehand is essential. The cost typically involves transportation to Masca village, potential parking fees, and the cost of a boat trip back (if chosen) which can range from €10-€15. Proper hiking shoes, water, and sun protection are essential.
