More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low sun casts long, black shadows over basalt ridges as a convoy of automatic 4WD buggies kicks up dust on the slopes of Spain’s highest peak. From the passenger seat the landscape feels elemental—sharp volcanic scree, sculpted rock towers, and sudden windows of ocean far below. The buggy tour threads through Teide National Park to viewpoints at Roques de García and runs high enough that clouds sometimes sit beneath the vehicle like a moving sea.
