Here, the guide describes the geological history while participants observe the contrast between lush vegetation inside the crater and rocky slopes outside. The tour then moves to Cruz de Tejeda, a mountain pass where visitors have about forty-five minutes to explore local artisan markets and taste traditional Canarian products. This stop also offers views of the Caldera de Tejeda. Lunch follows at Tajinaste Restaurant, where local ingredients are combined with French fusion cuisine. After lunch, the group undertakes a moderately challenging hike of approximately 3.5 kilometers round trip with a 200-meter elevation gain to Roque Nublo, a well-known volcanic rock formation within a Natural Park and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The hike takes about ninety minutes, and the guide discusses the cultural and natural importance of the area. The tour ends at Pico de Las Nieves, the highest point on the island, where participants watch the sunset over the sea of clouds.

Throughout the day, transportation is provided in an air-conditioned vehicle, and a professional accredited guide leads the tour.
