Teide National Park morning with guide in Italian

Description

Explore Spain’s highest mountain and its national park

‘There is no mountain high enough’.

Teide, the highest peak in Spain and the second highest volcano in Europe, towers over the island of Tenerife with its 3,718 metres of otherworldly lava formations. This imposing rocky giant stands on a 5,000-metre-deep seabed, reaches towards the sky and lives to the rhythm of its magmatic heart.

Teide is a unique transcendental place where earth, wind, ocean and lava come together. There is no better way to experience all four elements at once than the majestic Teide, a natural wonder with a completely unique aura.

Full activity description

The tour starts with a pick-up from the hotel in the morning or afternoon, depending on the option chosen at the time of booking. After picking up the other participants, the bus will begin to ascend 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.

We then head towards the Las Cañadas area, where some of Tenerife’s most emblematic rock formations can be found, such as the Roques de García and the Zapatilla de Reina, magnificent examples of nature’s volcanic architecture. The Las Cañadas area is about 2,200 metres above sea level and offers unique opportunities for photography in Tenerife.

On a clear day, the view from the summit is breathtaking; you can see many of the 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 spectacle of nature.
