As usual, we tested this activity and reveal you the details of this 3H Buggy excursion between lunar landscapes of the Teide and off-piste in the forest crown.

The appointment is taken near Vilaflor (possibility to organize a pick-up at your hotel), the highest village of the Canary Islands. We are welcomed in a pretty ecological finca. The place is really pleasant, with shaded parts and some tables (possibility to stay to enjoy the finca and its kitchen after the excursion).

A quick but comprehensive briefing and it’s time to hit the road. The buggies are waiting for us.

3 Buggys sur la route du Teide

The excursion begins with the ascent by road almost to the foot of the Teide. It’s fun, it’s exhilarating. Buggys respond well. They are not difficult to drive and have a good torque. One of the big differences compared to the quad is that instead of being one behind the other, we are next to each other. It doesn’t look like much, but it changes a lot. A jeep opens the road for us. We are 4 Buggys.

 

 

Volcan TEIDEOnce arrived in sight of the Teide, it is the occasion of a small pause accompanied by some explanations on the island, the volcano, the first inhabitants (Guanches), etc.. Interesting without being boring. A small vest is not too much. We are over 2000 m above sea level.

 

 

 

 

 

We take the road again and after a few minutes, we enter a dirt road for the offroad section. The presence of the SUV becomes obvious. He is there to make sure that we stay on the right track and to help us in case of problems. In the other differences between the quad and the buggy, we will note that the centre of gravity is much lower on the buggy. The buggy is also wider and above all, it has a complete frame that totally protects in the unlikely event of a rollover. We really feel safe.

Buggy et poussière

After leaving the track, a short break at the Pino gordo. A huge canarian pine. Perched at 1400 m altitude, its circumference is about 8m and some 60 m high. Its age is estimated at 700/800 years.

Finally, back to where we started. We park the buggies and our companion shows us a tap with soap and water. When we take the glasses off, we understand right away. We are covered in dust 🙂

Once cleaned, we go on the shaded terrace of the Finca where a small tasting of wine and local cheeses await us. Perfect to finish this adventure!
