With 360º panoramic views which are out of this world, the ascent and descent are both dramatic for different reasons, although, mainly on a good mixture of mountain paths and forest trails in the Corona forestal.
The highlight of the ascent is when the path runs adjacent to the open barranco which gives us spectacular views across the picturesque Orotava Valley. Upon reaching the summit the vistas across the National Park to Mount Teide are second to none.
Our return path gives us more majestic views of the mighty Teide in the distance and the everchanging forest landscape.
NB. This is a long drive approx. 1h 30m each way on good roads through the National Park.
