🕐 Best time to visit
Morning, before clouds build over the crater rim
La Cumbrecita is the easiest window into the Caldera de Taburiente, a 10 km-wide volcanic amphitheatre of pine forest, sheer walls and streams. Short, well-marked trails from the car park reach viewpoints over the crater; a summer permit system limits cars, so arrive early or go with a driver.
