A photo stop will be made at the Roque de Los Muchachos viewpoint, where you will enjoy breathtaking panoramas of the impressive Caldera de Taburiente.

Then, you will stop at the Roque de los Muchachos Visitor Center, which is divided into four rooms:

After the visit, you will have free time to explore this exceptional environment before returning to the port.
