Mount Guajara, Mountain summit in Teide National Park, Tenerife, Spain.

The mountain rises to 2,718 meters above sea level, forming part of the Cañadas border range that encircles Mount Teide and its surrounding caldera.

Mount Guajara's geological formation dates back to the ancient volcanic activity that shaped the Canary Islands through multiple eruptions over millions of years.

The mountain holds substantial scientific importance as the location of an astronomical observatory that conducts research on the eastern ridge of its crater.

The ascent from Parador Hotel takes approximately two hours on a marked trail, while the southern route from Vilaflor requires four to five hours of hiking.

From the summit plateau, visitors can observe both Mount Teide and the neighboring Canary Islands of La Gomera and Gran Canaria across the Atlantic Ocean.
