Description
The La Ruleta viewpoint is one of the most visited in the Teide National Park thanks to its spectacular views of Llano de Ucanca and the southern cirque of Las Cañadas.
From here you can marvel at the Roques de García, a rocky alignment some 2 km long formed by a series of outcrops that have withstood erosion better than the surrounding caldera of Las Cañadas.
So much so that these rock formations separate the caldera into an eastern section, a much higher depression, and a western section, more sunken (Llano de Ucanca).
Tips
- Always stay on the marked trail and do not enter private property, hunting grounds, water galleries, wells or caves.
- Pay special attention when crossing or walking along trails used by bicycles, horses or motor vehicles and when walking in ravines with water courses.
- Avoid direct encounters with potentially dangerous animals, such as livestock, beehives, and dogs.
- Proceed with caution and watch for obstacles, loose rocks, uneven terrain or steep slopes to avoid accidents and falls.
