More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb out of the minibus as the light thins and the island exhales — a ribbon of cloud sits low over the Atlantic while Teide’s jagged summit holds the last of the sun. The guide pours cava; the lava-strewn ground cools beneath your boots and the first faint stars begin to prick the dark.
