Circular enduro route through Firgas and Arucas
This Enduro bike ride is suitable for doing at any time of the year. Although In the rainy season, El Picacho mountain is not highly recommended due to the type of mud that is created there.. But the rest of the route is perfect to do even if it is raining. As for the technical level of the descents, it is high in several areas of the route. The descent from El Picacho is the most difficult of the day. And those of Monagas and Azuaje also require a certain technical level. We recommend having at least a medium technical and physical level to undertake this excursion.
