TITSA bus 348, Puerto de la Cruz – Las Cañadas del Teide

This is the bus that climbs to the Teide from the north of the island. Line 348 leaves once a day, every day, from the Puerto de la Cruz station at 9:30, passes through the La Orotava station at 9:45, through Aguamansa and El Portillo, stops at the cable car and ends at the Parador de Las Cañadas, after an hour and forty minutes. The return leaves the Parador at 16:00, the cable car at 16:05 and El Portillo at 16:30.

From Santa Cruz, first take line 102 at the Interchange: it reaches Puerto de la Cruz in an hour and on Sundays has departures from 5:40. From the south, line 342 leaves Playa de las Américas. Check the day's timetable at titsa.com or on 922 531 300 before setting out: if you miss the 16:00 return, there is no other.
