TEIDE NATIONAL PARK
It is undoubtedly the place that most identifies Tenerife.
The Teide National Park was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 2007 with the category of Natural Well. It is also a European Diploma by the Council of Europe and forms part of the Natura 2000 Network Places. And reasons for receiving such recognitions are not lacking. On the one hand, it is the most complete sample of vegetation of supra-Mediterranean floor that exists. On the other, it is one of the most spectacular manifestations of volcanism in the world, and of course, the most outstanding in the Canary Islands.
P.N. del Teide is located in the center of the island, at an average altitude of 2,000 meters, and its summit represents the highest peak in Spain, with 3,718 meters. Its record figures also include that it is the most visited national park in Spain and Europe, receiving around three million tourists a year.
PRICE
• ADULTS € 65
• CHILDREN € 52
PEAK TEIDE RISE WITH PERMIT
Probably one of the best routes of the island of Tenerife since in it we ascend to the highest peak in Spain and the third highest volcano in the world. The excursion begins at the foot of the volcano where a small introduction to the national park and its main features will be made. During the tour we will know the different types of lava formations that gave rise to the creation of the space, as well as walking through some of them to know their peculiarities. The climb path can be difficult due to the change in pressure, so it will be done at an appropriate pace for all participants. Despite this, the arrival at the top is a satisfaction that our customers will keep as a good memory, not only for their physical effort but also for the landscape they will see at their feet: red and black lava join with flora and with one of the cleanest and blue skies in the world, creating a unique image. At the top, customers can enjoy a picnic lunch and then go down by cable car.
