What to expect
Private guided tours by 4WD reach Teide's most spectacular sunset viewpoints — Boca Tauce, Roques de García and Minas de San José — without the coach crowds. The light at 2,200 metres in the hour before sunset is unforgettable: the lava plain glows ochre and red, the Earth's shadow rises in the east, and the line of cloud below the summit catches gold. Expert guides include picnic dinner, telescopes for after-dark stargazing, and timed transfers to avoid the popular spots. A 3-hour upgrade to the full stargazing experience is offered.
