Climb to the peaks of Tenerife for a spectacular sunset. We offer a 4-hour VIP experience where you will stroll through the amazing Lunar Landscape of Mount Teide and crown the afternoon toasting with a cold glass of cava at iconic viewpoints like Chipeque or Archipenque, while the sun disappears beneath an infinite sea of clouds.
In Detail
Start your journey mid-afternoon from our office in Puerto de la Cruz or from the GF Noelia hotel (if you choose the pickup option). Aboard our exclusive premium minibus, you will observe how the coastal landscape transforms as we ascend towards the summits.
Our first stop will be at the La Bermeja Viewpoint, perfect for enjoying the first panoramic views of the majestic valley. From there, we will continue to the supernatural Minas de San José, a vast expanse of golden sand at an altitude of over 2,000 meters where you can stroll through the famous Lunar Landscape of Teide National Park.
Next, after a brief photo stop at the spectacular geological cut of the La Tarta Viewpoint, we will head to the main event: the sunset. To ensure you enjoy the best possible experience, your expert guide will select the ideal viewpoint (such as the famous Chipeque or Archipenque) depending on the season and weather conditions. Wherever we stop, you will be able to admire the characteristic sea of clouds formed by the trade winds.
To make this moment unforgettable, we will offer you a chilled glass of cava. You can toast as the sun sets, dyeing the sky in spectacular tones. After this spectacle, we will begin the comfortable descent to Puerto de la Cruz as night falls.
📌 Important note: All viewpoints and stops planned in the itinerary are subject to change without prior notice if the expert guide considers it necessary to adapt to weather, traffic, or road conditions to offer you the best possible experience.

Important Information
Frequently Asked Questions
Is stargazing with telescopes included in this tour?
No, the main focus of this route is to enjoy the daytime landscapes and experience the magic of the sunset. After the cava toast at the Chipeque Viewpoint, we will start our journey back to Puerto de la Cruz shortly after nightfall.
This is the ideal option if you prefer a more dynamic excursion that allows you to return to your hotel in time for dinner. If you are looking for an in-depth astronomical experience with telescopes and dinner, we recommend checking out our other Teide night tour options.
Do we visit the famous Chipeque Viewpoint that appears on social media?
Our route always includes a spectacular stop to watch the sunset over the sea of clouds with a glass of cava. To guarantee the best experience, avoid crowds, and adapt to the sun’s position (which changes depending on the time of year), the expert guide will choose the viewpoint with the most optimal conditions on the spot.
We will visit iconic and spectacular spots, such as the famous Chipeque Viewpoint or the impressive Archipenque Viewpoint, always ensuring unforgettable views.
Why do I need to bring a jacket in summer?
Even if it’s 30 degrees down on the coast, we are going up to over 2,000 meters in altitude. When the sun starts to go down, the temperature on Mount Teide drops rapidly and it can get quite cold or windy. It’s better to be prepared and bring warm clothing (long pants and a jacket).
Can children go on this excursion?
Yes, the excursion is suitable for children aged 5 and up. They will really enjoy the volcanic landscapes that look like another planet. Just keep in mind that the complimentary cava toast is strictly for adults over 18; for the little ones, we can offer alternatives like water or juice.
Will I get carsick in the van?
The drive up to the National Park involves navigating a winding mountain road for about 45 minutes. Riding in a premium minibus makes the driving much smoother than in large buses, but if you are very prone to motion sickness, we suggest taking a preventive pill 30 minutes before departure.
