Contact Tenerife Outdoor Guide
I am Alejandro Vega. Born in La Laguna, 10 years guiding on Teide, and tired of watching visitors book the wrong tours because a hotel concierge handed them a brochure. If something on this site needs correcting, or if you have a question I have not answered, send it my way.
I read every email. I cannot always reply the same day, I still guide summit hikes on Teide, and at 3,715m the signal is exactly zero, but I will get back to you, usually within 48 hours.
General inquiries: alejandro@tenerife-outdoor-guide.com
Corrections: Same address, put "Correction" in the subject and I will prioritise it. Tour prices change fast on this island.
What I Can Help With
- Tour recommendations: Not sure which Teide tour is right for your fitness level? Tell me your dates and experience.
- Trail conditions: "Is Teide summit accessible this week?" "Are the Masca steps open?" I track IFCN and AEMET updates.
- Corrections: Price change, schedule update, tour discontinued, I want to know. Tours change constantly on this island.
- Media & partnerships: Legitimate outdoor publications or Canarian tourism boards only.
What I Cannot Help With
- Viator booking issues: I do not process bookings, contact Viator directly for refunds or changes.
- Guest posts or sponsored content: Every word on this site is mine.
- Backlink requests / SEO pitches: Straight to the bin.

What to Include in Your Email
To help me answer quickly, please include: (1) the specific tour or activity you're asking about, (2) your travel dates if relevant, (3) your fitness level or any mobility considerations, and (4) the number of people in your group. The more context you give me, the more specific my recommendation can be. I read every message personally, there's no assistant or auto-responder.
Response Time
I aim to reply within 48 hours. During busy guiding seasons (June–September for summer, December–January for winter holidays), it may take up to 72 hours. If your question is urgent, you're booking for tomorrow and need a quick answer, put "URGENT" in the subject line and I'll prioritise it.
What I Can't Help With
- Viator booking issues: I don't process bookings. For refunds, cancellations, or booking changes, contact Viator support directly through your booking confirmation email.
- Guest posts or sponsored content: Every word on this site is written by me based on firsthand experience.
- SEO backlink requests: These go straight to the trash folder.
- Custom itineraries: I'm happy to recommend specific tours, but I don't build multi-day custom itineraries. The planning pages on this site are designed to help you build your own.
Media & Partnerships
I occasionally collaborate with reputable outdoor publications and tourism boards. If you're a journalist, editor, or official tourism representative, mention your publication or organisation in your email. I prioritise these inquiries.
About This Site
This guide exists because I got tired of watching travellers book the wrong tours based on hotel concierge recommendations and generic Top 10 lists. Every recommendation here comes from firsthand experience, I've done these tours myself, often multiple times in different seasons. I update prices and availability regularly, but tours change fast in the Canaries. If you spot something outdated, tell me.
Recommendations on This Site
Every tour recommendation on this website is based on firsthand experience. I have no sponsored listings and accept no payments from tour operators for better placement. If a tour isn't worth booking, I say so clearly. Transparency is why this site exists.
