More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engine rumbles beneath you and the road peels away as the island rises — vines and terraced farms give way to pine forests, then scorched fields of lava. In a 1–4 person buggy you climb toward Las Cañadas del Teide, the plateau that frames Spain’s highest peak. At 2,200 meters the air is thin and clear; the landscape opens into wide, raw shapes of basalt and pumice, and the wind seems to push the vehicle toward each panoramic edge.
