A Spectacular Sunset Above the Clouds
Your evening begins with an opportunity to admire the magnificent sunset from one of the viewpoint terraces at the upper station of the Teide Cable Car or from the beautiful Chío viewpoint.
As the sun slowly disappears beyond the Atlantic Ocean, watch the volcanic landscape transform into a spectacular display of colours.
On clear evenings, you may even see the neighbouring islands of La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro stretching across the horizon.
Enjoy a glass of champagne as you take in the extraordinary scenery from this privileged location.
It's a wonderful way to experience the peaceful beauty of Mount Teide as the day comes to an end.
Weather Information: If the cable car cannot operate because of adverse weather conditions, the original excursion arrangements provide for a refund of the cable car ticket: €40 for non-residents and €20 for residents. These amounts should be confirmed with the operator before booking.
Traditional Canarian Cocktail Dinner
After enjoying the sunset, continue your evening with a delicious cocktail-style dinner featuring traditional Canarian specialities.
Discover the flavours of Tenerife with a selection of local dishes prepared using ingredients typical of the Canary Islands.
The menu includes regional favourites such as:
- Papas arrugadas with mojo sauces – Traditional Canarian potatoes served with delicious local sauces.

- Local Canarian wines – Enjoy a selection of white, red and rosé wines from the islands.
This relaxed dining experience adds an authentic taste of Tenerife to your evening in the mountains.
Discover the Wonders of the Night Sky
As darkness falls, prepare for a fascinating journey into the universe.
Teide National Park is internationally recognised for its exceptional conditions for astronomical observation, making it a remarkable destination for stargazing.
Accompanied by a knowledgeable astronomy guide, you'll discover fascinating constellations, learn about the night sky and explore the extraordinary celestial objects visible above Tenerife.
Professional telescopes will be provided, giving you the opportunity to observe distant stars and planets, including remarkable sights such as Saturn when visible.
Your guide will explain the wonders of astronomy in an engaging and accessible way, turning the night sky into an unforgettable educational experience.
Stargazing Whatever the Weather
