The van pulls away from the coastal heat and the island climbs beneath a sky that sharpens as it gains height. Within an hour Tenerife’s scrub gives way to chestnut and Canary pine; by the time the group steps out at 2,000 meters the wind has a voice of its own and the sunset paints the volcanic caldera a fierce, changing orange.
