Timeline
16:43
Grab a hot chocolate and a pastry at Café Bohème. The rooftop terrace offers a clear view of the volcano, letting you scout the sunset direction before you head up.
17:13
Walk up the path toward the coffee fields. The tour base is on the volcano, and the climb gives you time to adjust to the altitude and cool air. If you have booked a tour, join the group; if not, the path is open for independent walkers seeking the view.
17:48
Settle in at Plaza de la Escuela de Cristo. This spot is well-positioned to catch the final light as the sun sets toward the WSW. Find a bench or a quiet corner to watch the sky change color.
18:38
Head down to Caffé Mediterráneo for a late dinner. The Italian specials change daily, offering a warm, savory end to the evening after the cool mountain air.
Local tip
The climb to the coffee fields can be steep. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a light jacket for the evening chill.
