From the summit of the Alto de Guajara at 2715 metres, an incomparable panorama opens up, allowing you to look deep into the soul of the landscape of the Teide National Park. The view extends far over the Caldera de las Cañadas, whose primeval formations and gently curving lines impressively express the power of nature. The gigantic caldera looks like an ancient crater, surrounded by dramatic mountain slopes and jagged rock formations, which really bring the vastness of the national park to life.
To the east rises the mighty Teide-Pico Viejo complex, a sight to take your breath away. The Pico del Teide, Spain's highest mountain at 3718 metres, towers majestically over the landscape and forms the undisputed heart of this volcanic world. The mighty volcano seems almost close enough to touch and yet mystically distant, while its peaks tower into the sky and the light conjures up a fascinating play of shadows and radiance on the slopes of the Pico Viejo and the surrounding lava fields.
The Alto de Guajara offers a sublime tranquillity, a harmony of wind and silence that invites you to linger and enjoy. Up here, in the clear mountain air, you feel at one with the wild yet peaceful nature of this unique volcanic landscape.
