Guide
Montaña Limón is a roadside viewpoint on TF-24 at kilometer 35.4, looking across a small volcanic valley framed by the Cabezón de Izaña and Yegua Blanca ridges. It is a brief pullout rather than a hike; no trail starts here. On clear days the farther view can include the Tigaiga massif, Los Realejos and La Palma, though cloud can hide those landmarks.
Many of the nearby volcanoes formed in fissure eruptions, with magma reaching the surface at several points along a crack. Montaña Limón is the cone that gives the viewpoint its name. An interpretation panel identifies features in the panorama, including Teide and the neighboring volcanic ridges.
