Montaña Guajara (Alto de Guajara)

Mount Guajara (about 2,715 m) is the fourth highest peak in Tenerife and the Canary Islands, after Teide, Pico Viejo, and Montaña Blanca, and the highest summit of the wall enclosing the caldera of Las Cañadas del Teide. Its ascent is one of the classic routes of the National Park: it starts from the vicinity of the Parador and the Cañada Blanca Visitor Center and is usually done in a circular route combining several marked trails; from the Parador area, trails no. 4 (Siete Cañadas) and no.

At the top, the remains of the cabin of the French astronomer Jean Mascart, who in 1910 studied the passage of Halley's comet and planned an observatory there, are preserved. The toponym is of Guanche origin and is linked to the legend of Princess Guajara.
