Teide National Park morning with French guide

Description

Explore Spain’s highest mountain and its national park

“Ain’t no mountain high enough”.

Le Teide, the highest peak in Spain and the second highest volcano in Europe, dominates the island of Tenerife with its 3,718 metres of otherworldly lava formations. This imposing rock giant rises above a sea bed 5,000 metres deep, stretching into the sky and living to the rhythm of its magma core.

Le Teide is a unique transcendental place where earth, wind, ocean and lava meet. There’s no better way to experience these four elements at the same time as the majestic Teide, a natural wonder with a totally unique aura.

Full description of the activity

The tour begins with a morning or afternoon pick-up from the hotel, depending on the option chosen when booking. After collecting the other participants, the bus will begin to climb a picturesque mountain road with magnificent views and pine forests. The tour continues along the Cañadas del Teide road, in the heart of the Teide National Park, surrounded by a spectacular landscape of craters and solidified lava flows.

You will then head for the Las Cañadas area, home to some of Tenerife’s most emblematic rock formations, such as Roques de García and Zapatilla de Reina, magnificent examples of nature’s volcanic architecture. The Las Cañadas region lies at around 2,200 metres above sea level and offers unique photographic opportunities in Tenerife.

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

This is undoubtedly Tenerife’s most popular excursion; travellers from all over the world come to Tenerife to admire this spectacle of nature.
