Description
The Montaña Blanca bivouac area is located on one of the main mountains within Teide National Park, on the mountain named Montaña Blanca, specifically next to the area known as “El Puesto de Mulas”, where the Montaña Blanca trail and the PNT 07 Montaña Blanca – La Rambleta trail converge.
It is located at an altitude of over 2,500 metres, which means that the weather conditions are extreme (cold, wind, high levels of sunshine, etc.), changeable (temperatures can vary by more than 20°C from day to night) and in many cases unpredictable, so suitable equipment is required.
Bivouacking on Montaña Blanca involves sleeping or resting during the night in the open air, with or without the use of shelter – sleeping bag or bivvy bag – or with the resources that occur naturally in the environment, without altering it in any way, which means tents or similar are forbidden.
Tips
- Enjoy the local plant life and wildlife; it is okay to be curious but always from a distance and without causing harm.
- Respect natural and cultural values by following the instructions and restrictions given by the Park staff and the authorities, and by following the signs.
- Keep the environment clean and do not litter or discard cigarette butts.
