You board a VIP coach before dawn and the island squeezes itself into view—sharp volcanic ridges, eucalyptus scent rising as the bus climbs toward Teide National Park. By late morning the air thins; jagged columns of Roques de Garcia catch the light and invite selfies against a sky that feels impossibly close.

Dress in layers
