    Lovely spot for incredible view and to admire the natural wonder of the volcanic rocks. The Climb was fairly easy but recommended to wear appropriate shoes. If yo I are unsure you can look at the video I posted. The little trekking route right next to it was lovely, very flat and easy for walking until you reach the point that you need to go down hill. We stayed at the hotel nearby so it gave us plenty of time and flexibility to explore the area. The route was empty when we went there around 6:30pm, it was partially in the shade, we had such a pleasant time taking a stroll there before dinner at the hotel. So beautiful and quiet when there was no fussy tourists around.

    Beautiful, breathtaking views close to Teide volcano, we stoped many times on the way to take photos . Recommend to rent a car on your holidays as you would never experience something like that with the tour organisation and tgey can be very boring. Take a ride and see it for yourself 😉

    Great place to stop off and look at where lava once flowed. It was very busy when we went, but we were lucky enough to be able to shake off a couple of the crowds. We unfortunately only had a short period of time here, but we made the mistake of of it just the same.

    Very nice and popular place. In a popular tour you will have 1/2 hour. But this place is worth a slow walking tour. Great views!

    A short walk from the visitors centre, that is paved in one direction that is fairly level with parking. You will need good mobility and footwear as its rough terrain if you want to climb upwards towards the amazing views. A must to visit to see wonderful rock formations with the summit in the distance

    Beautiful location to get a nice view of Teide volcano and plenty of hikes can be started from this area. A lot of free parking spaces around.

    In a word - stunning. Had a rest stop/photo opportunity during our full-day coach tour of the west of the island. Superb scenery throughout our tour, on a fine and warm [25C in the mountains, 30+C on the coast) November day.

    There are some really nice hiking tracks. We took one, which was absolut 45mins long. The rocks were really cool! No tickets needed. But parking was a bit problematic.

    It's like stepping on the planet Mars, the beautiful color and shape of the volcano rocks and remain ashes. With the chilly winter Sun, it completes the unique experience.

    Ruleta vista point is next to paramor and provides a viewing point over a number of fascinating and iconic rock formations in teide national Park. There are several trails that are accessed from this point that allow you to walk between the rock formations. Definitely worth visiting if you're in Tenerife.

    This is one of the best views i have ever witnessed in my life. Breathtaking, dramatic scenery that resembles another planet. This is a must go! The infrastructure provided was more than okay!

  • 5/5 Malina M. 5 months ago on Google • 52 reviews
    Visiting Teide was one of the best experiences. We had private tour with sunset and were extremely lucky, we had the best guide possible , his name is Basos , extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Sunset was truly heaven on earth , the views were breathtaking. Just make sure you get a jumper as temperatures drop as you go up the mountain. An incredible piece of Tenerife 's history. Will definitely be going back.

  • 5/5 Gary L. 11 months ago on Google
    Incredible natural rock formations with a clear view of Teide in the background. Best to visit during sunset when long shadows are drawn and you can appreciate all the jagged detail.

    Short wait for cable car (booked through Tui). Guide was fantastic. Great knowledge and language skills. Views amazing.

  • 5/5 OceanLover 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing views. Unfortunately the road to rocks is closed now, but you can descend behind them.

  • 5/5 Rita V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great hike around the rocks and mountains. Quite easy, accessable for families. Recommending to start from the right and finish the hike with the view of the full path crossed, feels like a grand final in the end to see the view.

  • 5/5 H C. 10 months ago on Google
    An incredible place to experience, well worth the coach trip up. Make sure you wear appropriate footwear and not sandals or flip flops and be careful of the uneven footpaths and shere drops!

  • 4/5 Fran W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful view point. Veryyyyy hot! Make sure you put your suncream on and pack some water. The air was a little thin there and if you go in the sunnier hours, be careful. Lots of little lizards to see too which was cute. You will need a bit of good luck to park but normally people don't stay too long so if you drive around a little you're should get a spot. Enjoy!

    Incredible nature. If you can, I recommend to go down to other see rocks. There is a path, a few km long, but you can easily get back. At one moment, you feel like a hero from fantasy movie trying to reach a dragon’s den and a minute later you have a hard time to belive you are still on planet Earth.

    Definitely a place where you need the right shoes ir it can definitely go sideways since the steps are a bit slippery. It is only for safety that I am taking off a star. BUT, you get some breathtaking views from here.

  • 5/5 Gitty R. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible viewpoint! I highly recommend doing a hike here as the views from the trail cannot be beat.

  • 5/5 Markus A. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful view, it gets cold in the evening here compared to the rest of the island so bring a good jacket and pants if you’re wearing shorts and t shirt. Was 8 degrees while the rest of the island was 24-27 almost. But the view at sunset and also after sunset when the stars come out are breathtaking and well worth a bit of freezing!

  • 5/5 MEAURIS 2 years ago on Google
    Great spot to see the stars at night. If you visit during the day come early. The light in the morning is best to enjoy the scenery. Something learned again while creating the enclosed photos.

  • 5/5 Dave S. 1 year ago on Google
    Just stunningly beautiful. I felt honoured to be allowed somewhere so fascinating

  • 5/5 louis d. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful volcanic structures, bold and strong. A tribute to nature's architecture.

  • 4/5 Simon 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic views. Great for a stop on a tour of the park but perhaps not worth a dedicated visit.

  • 4/5 Pedro F. 1 year ago on Google
    PROS: astonishing views | great interpretation center & nice staff | free parking CONS: having a coffee at Parador Nacional's cafeteria will spoil your visit (bring your own food & drink)

  • 5/5 Žilvinas P. 2 years ago on Google
    Otherworldly location, like on a different planet, "star wars/trek" vibes. Quite easy hike, some parts were a bit moderate (rocky and steep "ending"). No shade.

  • 5/5 Arnaud D. (. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place with a fantastic view. Easy trek to be done. The view on the volcano was great. You feel alone on earth. Great moment.
