In Teide
Teide Top Sunset
FreeAt the summit of Mount Teide, sunset, as the sun sets, brings a gentle light and the cool morning air. The sky ignites, turning red, and everything becomes tinged with color, or as Edith Piaf sang, "La Vie en Rose." Without a doubt, it's the perfect moment to enjoy the view and take photos.
Medium difficulty, medium technical level.
The excursion lasts approximately 11 hours.
- Maximum altitude 3725 m
- Minimum altitude 2300 m
- PEOPLE WITH CARDIORESPIRATORY, JOINT, AND KNEE PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT ATTEND.
- Moderately difficult route with slippery sections. Trail is dangerous at times.
- The last few kilometers were in darkness, with headlamps, enjoying the stars. Sunset enjoyed in the shadow of Mount Teide. A spectacular lunar landscape.
