Teide National Park

This excursion will take you to the heights to visit the highest peak in Spain: El Teide.

We will cross the Corona Forestal Nature Reserve and leave the Canary Island pine forests behind us until we reach the Teide National Park, located some 2,000 metres above sea level. This area was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2007 with the category of Natural Heritage.

Along the route we will make some stops so that you can admire all that the natural area of Las Cañadas del Teide has to offer: a landscape of impressive lava flows that looks as if it has been brought from another planet. Let yourself be amazed by this volcano which, at 3,718 metres, is the third highest volcano in the world from its oceanic base.

We will visit some of the most emblematic places of the National Park, such as the Llanos de Ucanca, or Los Roques de García. As we walk, we will learn interesting facts about the volcano and discover the diversity of the native flora and fauna that only grow in this area.

We will make a stop at the base of the cable car where, if you have purchased your ticket in advance and subject to availability, you can take the Teide Cable Car up to La Rambleta station, located at 3,550 metres, where you will be just a few metres from the highest peak in Spain.

Throughout the day, you will have free time to have lunch on your own or enjoy the Canarian gastronomy tasting one of the menus that we recommend in one of the restaurants in the area of El Portillo.

On this full day excursion you will discover all that the Teide National Park has to offer. You will also have the option to take the Teide Cable Car up to 3550m!
