Pico Viejo Volcano Summit Hike (3,134 m) – Tenerife’s Ultimate Crater Adventure 

While no technical climbing skills are required, previous mountain hiking experience is strongly recommended. The long and steady ascent to Pico Viejo (3,134 m) can be demanding. Preparing with cardio workouts and practice hikes will greatly enhance your comfort and confidence during the trek. 

Although Pico Viejo is slightly lower than Mount Teide, at over 3,100 m altitude, mild symptoms like headache or dizziness are still possible. Our guide will set a gradual, steady pace to help your body adapt. Staying hydrated and communicating any discomfort early is important. 

No. Due to the length and elevation gain, children under 15, pregnant participants, and those with serious heart or respiratory conditions should not join this tour. Safety is always our top priority.
