| Titsa restores bus routes to Mount Teide and presents a new route in the National Park |
The Minister of Mobility and President of Tenerife public bus company, Titsa, Enrique Arriaga, explains that "the company is recovering this service to provide a sustainable response to the interest that the protected area arouses"
Transportes Interurbanos de Tenerife (Titsa), a company managed by the Cabildo de Tenerife, will re-establish the routes 342 and 348, which connect the Teide National Park with Costa Adeje and Puerto de la Cruz, respectively, starting, Friday, October 8. Both routes, which had been temporarily suspended due to the low demand due to COVID-19, will begin to operate on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays with a daily route.
At the same time, the company inaugurates a new route through the interior of the Park, which will visit the most emblematic sites of this space to respond to the demand of both residents and tourists. Stops will be made at Portillo Bajo, the visitor centre, Portillo Alto, Minas de San José, Montaña Blanca, the cable car and parador (Roques de García). The Minister of Mobility and President of Titsa, Enrique Arriaga, explains that this route seeks to "reconcile the management and preservation of a protected area with the interest it arouses among tourists and visitors." Thus, a more sustainable alternative is offered both to go to the park and to be able to see all of its main attractions.
The new route, which Titsa will operate in the interior of the Park in both directions, will maintain the number 342, corresponding to the one that connects with the South, and will cost 2.10 euros each way. It will cover the area between the Portillo Bajo and the parador (Roques de García), with departures at 11:00, 12:30, 13:10 and 14:40 in the direction of the parador and at 11:20 , 12:30, 13:10 and 14:00 in the direction of the visitor centre.
