This construction has its origins in the mid-19th century, although it has undergone several
renovations during the following century and the most recent in 2007. It was the accommodation of scientists, travellers, astronomers and geologists, interested in climbing the Pico del Teide and being able to spend some time to investigate its geology or its flora and fauna. It is possible to spend the night in this refuge upon request and payment of the stay, so a reservation must be made on the website.
