Beste tijd om te bezoeken
Late afternoon burns off the haze for the sharpest views and throws golden light onto the rock face. Spring and autumn bring mild hiking temperatures, while summer midday heat can be punishing.
Budgettips
Entry to the trailhead is completely free, with no ticket or permit required at any time. Park expects to fill by 10 a.m. on weekends, so aim for earlier slots or leave the car at the lower lot and walk the extra 20 minutes.

Over
Korte feiten: At 1,813 meters above sea level, this 80-meter volcanic monolith was a sacred site where the indigenous Guanches left offerings. On a clear day, sharp-eyed visitors spot Mount Teide on Tenerife roughly 100 kilometers away across the Atlantic.
Hoogtepunten: Late afternoon sun turns the weathered rock face a deep orange while low clouds swirl through the pine forest far below, changing the scene minute by minute. The summit plateau serves as a natural sundial; at winter solstice, locals say the rock's shadow traces the same alignment the Guanches used for their ceremonies centuries ago.
Insidertips
- Wear grippy hiking shoes, because the final stretch over loose volcanic scree turns slippery after rain.
- Carry at least 1.5 liters of water per person, since no fountain or shop exists along the trail.
- Start hiking by 8 a.m. to enjoy empty trails and soft morning light before the tour vans arrive.
- Turn back early if clouds roll in; the open mid-trail viewpoint often stays clearer than the actual summit.
