“Spectacular landscape and climb from the top station to the summit. Our guide was amazing with a wealth of knowledge and great sense of humor. We couldn’t have asked for better weather with a breathtaking view of not only the caldera, and Tenerife italef bit of the neighbouring islands and even El Hierro in the distance. Well worth the effort to get to the top. The walk to the viewing point of Pico Viejo was excellent to. A beautiful crater. Highly recommended”
