I recommend taking the cable car up to the summit. The views are unbelievable, and you save time climbing the trails. Just be sure to check the weather, as it can get foggy!

Grab your lunch from a local supermarket in nearby towns before heading in. Food in the park can be pricey, and you’ll want to enjoy a picnic with a view!

Don't miss out on the sunset at Playa de las Americas. Bring a blanket and some drinks, it's absolutely breathtaking! Just don't forget to get there by 6 PM to snag a good spot!

If you're into surfing, check out Playa de la LaTejita. The waves are great and there's less crowd compared to other spots, plus it's free! Just be careful with your stuff, as I had my towel 'borrowed' once.

I recommend visiting Playa de las Teresitas early in the morning, around 8 AM. The golden sand and calm waters are perfect for a chill beach day before the tourists arrive.

If you want to get great surf lessons, look for local schools rather than big brands... I got a fantastic deal with a small surf shop that wasn't on the main tourist radar - way more personalized!

You should definitely plan to visit around 9 AM. The morning light is amazing for photos and there are fewer tourists. Plus, you can snag the best parking spots!

If you're considering a guided tour, maybe skip it. The signs along the trails are pretty clear and you’ll get to explore at your own pace, unlike with a group tour. I found that way more enjoyable!

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks. The park’s cafes are kinda pricey and it’s so nice to find a scenic spot and picnic with a view. Trust me, you'll save some cash!

My advice is to wear good hiking shoes. The trails can get a bit rocky and uneven, which is not fun in flip-flops. I learned that the hard way!
