Teide National Park in the morning with a German-speaking guide

Description

Explore the highest mountain in Spain and its national park

“No mountain is high enough”.

Mount Teide, the highest mountain in Spain and the second highest volcano in Europe, towers over the island of Tenerife with its 3,718 metres and bizarre lava formations. This imposing rocky giant rises above a 5,000 metre deep sea bed, stretches into the sky and lives to the rhythm of its magmatic heart.

Mount Teide is a unique, transcendental place where earth, wind, ocean and lava meet. There is no better way to experience all four elements at once than the majestic Teide, a natural wonder with an aura all of its own.

Full description of the activity

The tour starts with a pick-up from the hotel in the morning or afternoon, depending on the tour option chosen at the time of booking. After picking up the other participants, the bus drives up a picturesque mountain road with beautiful views and pine forests. The tour continues along the Cañadas del Teide route in the heart of the Teide National Park, surrounded by a spectacular landscape of craters and solidified lava flows.

You will then head to the Las Cañadas area, where you will find some of the most emblematic rock formations in Tenerife, such as the Roques de García and the Zapatilla de Reina, magnificent examples of nature’s volcanic architecture. The area of Las Cañadas is around 2200 metres above sea level and offers unique opportunities for photography in Tenerife.

On a clear day, the view from the top is breathtaking; you can see many features of Tenerife and some of the other islands at the same time.

It is undoubtedly the most popular excursion in Tenerife; travellers from all over the world come to Tenerife to admire this natural spectacle.
