The Journey from Los Cristianos to Mount Teide – A Sensory Experience
Starting in Los Cristianos, the air is warm and salty, carrying the aroma of the ocean and hints of tropical plants. As you ascend the winding roads, the scenery transforms with every turn. The coastal breeze gives way to the crisp, fragrant air of the mountains, and the colors around you shift from the soft blues and greens of the sea to earthy browns and vibrant greens of the hillsides.
In Vilaflor, time seems to slow down. The scent of pine trees fills the air, and the gentle rustle of leaves creates a tranquil rhythm. Further along the route, at the base of El Pino Gordo, you are drawn to its immense presence. Touching the ancient bark, you feel its silent strength and vitality, as if it holds the energy of the island itself. It’s a moment of connection – grounding and humbling.
As you enter Teide National Park, the landscape becomes surreal. The volcanic terrain stretches endlessly, with rich, otherworldly hues of black, red, and ochre. The silence here is profound, broken only by the occasional sound of the wind. It’s as if the land whispers its ancient story to you, urging you to pause and simply absorb its beauty.
Staying until sunset is an unforgettable experience. The golden light dances across the volcanic rocks, casting long shadows and painting the sky in shades of orange and purple. The air grows cooler, and the world feels expansive, almost infinite. When night falls, the stars take over, glittering like diamonds against the dark canvas of the sky. It’s a moment of awe and wonder, where the vastness of the universe feels closer than ever.
Returning to Los Cristianos after such a day is like carrying a treasure. A calming swim in the ocean under the moonlight brings closure to the adventure, leaving you feeling renewed, connected, and deeply alive.
