Drive up to where the houses finish at the base of Montana Roja. Walk to the top and look over the whole of Playa Blanca. When you've taken in the view walk around the top of the Caldera. You do need to be reasonably fit, but it feels like a great achievement when you get there. The mountain seems to... More

Walked up the volcano with my Fiance on a cloudy morning and the views were stunning. It took about 20 minutes to walk to the top, but you can then walk around the crater of the volcano. The views were amazing, you can see the whole of Playa blanca, the other mountains on the Island, and it's also a pretty... More

lovely views - I was scared, but it was expensive for a family of 6 visiting! Worth a visit if you are not scared of heights (like me)!!

We climbed the volcano early one morning. it's a bit steep and loose underfoot at times but well worth the climb. It's not difficult though, I'm 53 with a heart condition and managed with ease. To stand on the edge of a volcanic crater is a privilege. In fact, it's possible to go down into the crater. We walked right... More

The path is very safe and well marked, the ascent is very gradual and gentle for both young and old. I spent 5 hours at the summit taking photographs and watched the sun sink into the sea in a spectacular display of colours. Within the crater of Montana Roja visitors have lest messages using rocks from around the Volcano which... More
