This is a very impressive and beautiful vantage point where excellent photographs can be taken of the rocky formations and El Teide volcano itself. The landscape can be observed at almost three-thousand metres high and is one of the more popular places for hikers and drivers to stop off at. It’s not far from the Park Gifts & Merchandise ship and has plenty of parking.
Make sure your footing is secure as you make your way towards the oddly shaped trio of rocks as it’s a bit of a clamber!

Spectacular rock formations at the footsteps of Teide volcano. In good weather views may be jawdropping - especially with the Teide peak in snow. You can go on a loop trail. It's not very difficult, but may be windy at some points, so bring appropriate clothes.

The whole Teide National part is a must visit in Tenerife and would say the pinnacle of the island.
Los Roques de Garcia walk is a pretty easy hour to hour and a half walk through amazing volcanic sites.
After that we took the cable car to Teide and climbed to the summit (need special permit) which made the whole day a superb experience in this amazing natural site

This hike took about 2 hours at a fairly leisurely pace. Lots of people, but it was a friendly, international crowd. Too bad there are no toilets of any kind, so tourists and hikers leave toilet tissue everywhere. And, very limited parking. Too bad the national park hasn't figured out a tram system that runs constantly so people can park at some big parking lot several miles away.

There are several walks there. Or simply climb above the rock (5 to 10 min, nice). Either a short flat walk of 40 minutes round trip on the right, or take walk no. 3, go to the right and take the left side. This walk goes around the rock, it takes around 1h30. It is said to be easy... I would say average... It goes up, down..., there are many stones (which is normal), but for that you need good shoes. It’s completely affordable.. The landscapes are magnificent!! On the other hand, parking is not easy because the place is very popular (lots of people)

In the Teide National Park, the Roques area is special. You can visit it without much effort but nature granted this place a divine Gift. Teide watches you from above all the time and monitors your movements.

Los Roques de Garcia are a collection of volcanic rock formations in the Mount Teide National Park, located close to the cablecar station that runs up to the peak of Teide. We stopped there as part of a coach trip around the national park during a cruise ship visit. There are various walks and hikes you can do from here and there is car parking (free) right next to the main rock formations. I took the time to climb some of the paths nearby to get some elevated shots of the surroundings. It's well worth a visit if spending time in the National Park.

Fantastic rocks! Very atmospheric, and unlike anything we'd ever seen before. It's like being on a different planet. And free to visit, which is a bonus! We came back a second time after sunset to see the stars from here, which is well worth doing - absolutely amazing on a clear night.

Great hike with our 5 and 8 year old children. We did the 1h40 route (done in 2 hours with breaks). You must bring at least sneakers or hiking shoes. The final part is quite steep, but doable even with children.
Preferable arrival well before 10am if you hope to park!! Otherwise it’s hell afterwards

Roques de Garcia are volcanic rock formations under the Pico de Teide volcano at an altitude of about 2000 m above sea level. The most famous is Roque Cinchado (God's finger), it reminds me of a huge morel. It is worth stopping here for a while, the formations are really impressive. Parking is right next to the rocks for free.

We will be visiting by public bus which I think gets to the Parador at 11 and then leaves at 4pm since the circular walk will not take all of our time any other suggestions?
Written August 11, 2019
You can extended your walk if you choose and also there is the café to sit, read and chill in. Time will fly. Enjoy!
Written September 2, 2019
We have a hire car, can we just turn up any day and park and have a wander around the rocks at our own leisure?
Thanks

Free public roadside parking OR at the coach-stop. Can't miss it

Hello,
We are planning to go hike arround Roques de Garcia on 04.February. That is Monday, and I've read that it's not allowed to do the whole circle around the Rogues de Garcia on Mondays (and some other days).
Is that true? Which part of the trek is opened?
Thank you!

Sorry, cant help as we visited on a Wednesday, but didnot see signs restricting walking unaccompanied.
