Walking on the GR 131, you cross a vast landscape that opens before your eyes. The colorful wall of the ancient caldera adorns one side of the route, while breathtaking views of Mount Teide await you on the other. The landscape is dominated by an impressive rock face, which shows the different layers of lava rock in a beautiful color palette ranging from cream to deep black.
