If there is no cloud cover, you have an amazing view all over the island, the neighbouring Canary Islands. If you are lucky, you may even get to see the African mainland. Usually clouds develop in the morning; hence, you are best advised to get to the top as early as possible.
Roques García
Rock formation considered emblematic to Tenerife, at about 1,700 m below the summit of Mount Teide. It is a volcanic formation belonging it a lineup of large rock formations all of which are remnants of the former summit known as Roques García. The 27-m-high rock pillar is composed of sedimentary rock layers, with its upper layers intruded by 2 sills of lava which made the upper part of the pillar more erosion resistant.
A good viewpoint for the sunset watching.
Observatorio del Teide
Astronomical observatory on Mount Teide at 2,390 m altitude, operated by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias. Opened in 1964, it became the first major international observatory with telescopes from different countries being installed because of its superior observatory conditions. The observatory consists of multiple buildings, some of which can be visited on guided tours.
Reserva natural especial del Chinyero
Volcanic cone one the slopes of El Teide, at a distance of about 10 km of its summit. Its height above sea level is 1,556 m but due to elevation of the landscape the cone is only 60 m tall. Its last eruption occurred on 27 November 1909, and was the last volcanic eruption on Tenerife to date. An area of 2 km² was covered by lava and ash, but no humans were injured. During its previous eruption in 1706, Garachico was heavily damaged by its lava flows.
