We were at the Parador too in May 2001: They made the paperwork for getting the permit. So there was no need to make the long way to Santa Cruz!

I would strictly recommend to use mountain boots !. The trail is easy, but the volcanic rocks are sharp-edged, and the risc of a hurt is high!

Many mountaineers hike up to the Refugio Altavista, take the night there, and hike up in the early morning to see the sunrise from the top of Teide. That must be great and an exceptional experience! As far as I know, you do need a permit or resevation for the Refugio Altavista.

An other possibility to see the sunrise is to start about 1.5 or 2 hours before sunrise from the parking lot, and see the sunrise from the "Huevos del Teide": Huge black balls in a yellowish pumice-stone (Bimsstein) landscape, the view over the partly with red clouds covered ocean, created by the early sunlight - I'll never forget that!

Actually (november of 2004) the permission can be obtained coming the leader of the group to refill the information of the persons contributing photocopy of the DNI or passport of all of the members of the expedition. The schedule of the office of the National Park is 9 to 14h and it is necessary to choose among the groups of hours to access to the summit: 9-11h, 11-13h, 13-15h and 15-16h of 2 following days. According to the rapidity with which we come fewer hours will stay to choose.

Generally the inspectors descent in the last cable car at 16:30 and you can accede without permission to the path that leads to the top (as well before the 9am).

Out of the summer (as october, november, december...) with few people in the top after 14h or 15 h. the inspectors leave generally to climb to the mountaineers that have realized the effort to walk the 4 hours or more necessary to come up to the checkpoint (but it's a risk, it's better to obtain the permit).

The route and the possibility of a climb from sealevel is not very well known and the loads of requests of information have given birth to www.teideascension.tk where everything is explained, from the route with maps and GPS points to the preparations, summit permit application etc. If you visit it, better with ADSL, as documents are heavy and waitings may be long Have fun, Santiago Arnalich __ WWW.TEIDEASCENSION.TK La güeb de los que sube"n el Teide desde el nivel del mar Playa del Socorro 0m - Pico del Teide 3718m
