Dress in layers
Temperatures shift rapidly from coastal warmth to cool high-altitude breezes—bring a light insulated layer and a wind shell.
Footwear matters
Trails include loose volcanic scree and muddy forest paths—wear sturdy hiking shoes with good traction.
Altitude & sun
If you opt for the Teide cable car or climb higher, sun is stronger and air thinner—use sunscreen and pace yourself.
Timing for clouds
Anaga often fills with a 'sea of clouds' in the morning; plan photo stops and short hikes around that window.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Grips volcanic scree and muddy trails, reducing risk of slips on mixed terrain.
Layered clothing (fleece + wind shell)
Protects against rapid temperature and weather changes between sea level and mountain heights.
Sunscreen & sunglasses
High UV at altitude and reflective volcanic terrain increase sun exposure.
