    Hiking

    A landscape like in the western, but at an altitude of 2000 meters. Terrific.

    Hiking

    An easy and highly recommended circular hike around one of the most impressive rock formations in the Teide National Park. The special feature lies in the variety of volcanic manifestations that can be observed here in their different colors and shapes.
    A NOTICE:
    Crowds of tourists often move between the Mirador de la Ruleta and the Roque Cinchado. However, the crowds quickly disperse as hardly anyone goes on the hike. So don't let that put you off! Refreshments available in the Parador National cafeteria, opposite the viewing point.
