Sendero de los Roques de García
Easy circular trail looping around the Roques de García rock formations with Teide as a backdrop.
One of the best loved walks in Teide National Park: a loop of about 3.6 km starting beside the La Ruleta viewpoint and skirting the silhouettes of Roque Cinchado, El Torrotito and the Roques Blancos. The first half is nearly flat before descending towards the Llano de Ucanca plain, with constant views of the Teide peak, Pico Viejo and the Las Cañadas wall. It takes a little over an hour and a half and is best done early or late in the day, when softer light warms the colour of the rock and the crowds thin out.
