Altavista is a striking mountain with a small summit and offers (as its name suggests) superb views of the center, west, and northwest of the island. In fact, Altavista is the highest peak on the walls of the enormous Caldera de Tejeda, a volcanic crater with a diameter of 20 kilometers! The trail itself is well-maintained and partly follows the GR hiking trail; a head for heights might be helpful!
