Guide
Montaña Blanca Bivouac Area is an authorized overnight stop on Teide’s summit route, at 2,724 m beside the historic El Puesto de Mulas. The zone is open ground between a black lava flow and the PNT 07.1 spur; large stones and the lava edge are used as windbreaks. It isn’t a tent campground: tents and similar shelters are prohibited.
At this height, expect cold, wind and strong sun; day-to-night temperature swings can exceed 20°C. No services are listed for the bivouac, so bring the water and energy food you need. Cooking fires are prohibited; gas stoves are allowed only on flat ground clear of vegetation and nearby objects.
