The Roques de Garcia are easily accessible by car and part of the way can even be used with wheelchairs and prams. The rocks are very impressive and definitely worth a stop. Don't miss out when you're out there.

December 26, 2025,Wandern statt Weihnachten 26.12. auf Teneriffa 🌋🇪🇸

The last day of my Christmas hiking holiday didn't go as planned at all:

I had actually wanted to climb Mount Teide today, but the weather had other ideas. 😕

Although we had clear skies with fantastic visibility and sunshine, and I had applied for the necessary permit in good time, the hiking trails were closed due to the snow …

Great weather, great tour, great day! 💪🏽🙃
Roques de garcía wasn't actually planned, but I spontaneously decided to make the detour (plus 4 kilometers). Good decision as this area is very impressive. Best part of the tour!

Beautiful walk under the Teide. One rock formation is even more beautiful than the other. You also become insignificant in this world. I think it is very busy here during the high season, but now it was fine.

December 14, 2023,🇪🇸 bizarre Felsenlandschaft unterhalb des Teide-Gipfels 🌋

The highest mountain in Spain is the heart of the Teide National Park. The volcanic mountain 🌋 got its name from the Guanches. The natives of Tenerife considered it hell (“echeide” in Old Canary) and the seat of the fire-breathing god Guayote, which is why they always avoided it.
The Caldera Las Cañadas that exists today developed significantly over the …

Above the clouds, freedom can be so limitless... 🎶
What an incredible landscape, what a breathtaking volcano. It is definitely worth going on a hike in Teide
National Park. We had perfect weather, bright sunshine and not a single cloud. Well, maybe that was also partly because we were at an altitude of 2000m. 😄
This time we chose a …

You really have to get used to this weather here. We drove towards Teide again this morning, this time to a car park near the valley station of the cable car. It takes an hour to get there from La Orotava. The route up is long and very winding. When you get to the top, the thermometer showed 6 degrees. …
