Hiking
With 2,715 meters, the rugged Guajara is the highest peak along the ancient crater. It bears a lot of history as it was this location where the first observatory in the high mountains worldwide was installed. You can still see the ruins at the summit. The view from the Guajara is exceptionally beautiful: the majestic Teide, the impressive Cañadas and the islands of El Hierro, Gran Canaria and La Gomera.

Hiking
On the normal route from the Parador Nacional de las Cañadas you can easily reach the top of the Guajara (2718m) and enjoy a beautiful view over the caldera and the Pico del Teide. Ambitious is the way through the rock bands of the west flank. No supply to the starting point - so take enough water!

Hiking
At 2,715 m, the Guajara is the highest mountain in the original crater. The ascent route over the scree fields on the north-west slope is adventurous and strenuous. Once at the top you have a magnificent view of the Teide, Canada and the islands of Gran Canaria, El Hierro and La Palma. Unforgettable. We recommend.
