Teide National Park

Experience the sea of clouds produced by this impressive stratovolcano

Situated on the island of Tenerife, Teide National Park covers 18,990 ha and features the Teide-Pico Viejo stratovolcano that, at 3,718 m, is the highest peak in Spain. Standing 7,500m above the ocean floor, it is regarded as the world's third tallest volcanic structure and is situated in a spectacular environment. The visual impact of the site is all the greater due to atmospheric conditions that create constantly changing textures and tones in the landscape and a ‘sea of clouds' that forms a visually impressive backdrop to the mountain. Teide is of global importance in providing evidence of the geological processes that underpin the evolution of oceanic islands, complementing those of volcanic properties already on the World Heritage List, such as the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (U.S.A.).

    El Teide is an ancient volcano on the island of Tenerife, which rises dramatically with more than 3,700 meters above sea level elevation to become the most impressive and largest in Spain. However, we are not fooled by their location on a desolate island and its vision for the Teide National Park is one of the most visited in the world. Over the years this area has been privileged opportunity to observe the stars and today it continues to be. The park has four access roads are very common and guided tours that will lead us between the gorges and the ancient remains of lava. It is also possible to stay overnight inside the park, either at the Parador Nacional de Las Cañadas or Altavista Refuge where you can enjoy a rustic atmosphere, the delicious traditional Canarian food.
