What to expect

Experience an unforgettable night adventure as you ascend the mighty Mount Teide under a blanket of stars.
Guided by headlamps, you'll journey through the surreal volcanic landscapes of Teide National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage site. The higher you climb, the more the silence of the night intensifies each step, with volcanic gravel crunching beneath your boots. Above, a canopy of stars lights your path, offering quiet encouragement on your way to Spain’s highest point.

Reaching the summit at 3,718 meters is no small feat. Starting around 1 AM (exact time depends on sunrise), this demanding 6 to 6.5-hour hike covers 10 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1,380 meters — a true test of stamina and spirit.

As dawn nears, the sky transforms. Shades of gold and crimson spill across the horizon, illuminating the Atlantic and the volcanic terrain below. In this magical moment, Teide casts its legendary triangular shadow — the longest on Earth — across a sea of clouds.

What will take your breath away more — the sunrise or Teide’s colossal shadow stretching to the edge of the world? That’s for you to decide.
