As the late afternoon sun dips low over Tenerife, the rugged expanse of Teide National Park reveals its dramatic contrasts. Your buggy’s all-terrain tires crunch over volcanic rock and ash, navigating ancient lava flows that dare you to keep pace. The warm light casts long shadows over Paisaje Lunar's surreal, moonlike terrain—a landscape shaped by millennia of eruptions. This half-day adventure begins at La Caldera, a highland recreational area perched at 1,000 meters altitude, where volcanic soil supports a hardy patchwork of endemic flora defying the arid climate.
