The extra details that make the trip. One more stop. That hidden corner. Only the best stuff makes it in.
Tenerife's greatest natural wonder, Mount Teide, is one of the world's largest island volcanos and Spain's highest peak. Avoiding the busiest times of the day, this exclusive guided tour explores unique habitats and offers unbeatable views over Tenerife and other islands in the Canaries. And, with our local know-how, we've streamlined the route, giving you less travel time and more focus on exploring Teide. Juana, one of our expert local guides, says, "Teide National Park and the surrounding Corona Forestal Nature Reserve together account for one third of Tenerife's land mass – the extent to which the volcano dominates our island is staggering."
At 3,718 metres above sea level, it's fair to say Mount Teide doesn't just dominate Tenerife, but the whole archipelago. And it's the centrepiece of its own National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Juana says, "The park boasts a variety of camera-grabbing landscapes. There's the scorched earth of the lava fields, the jagged rock formations of Roques de Garcia, the Mars-like badlands around Montaña Rajada and the pine forests of the Corona Forestal."
The park's trails have you pass through four different climate zones, which create an ever-changing kaleidoscope of terrains, flora and fauna. From lunar-like lava fields, you'll wander through forests of Canarian pine and across rocky ridges. A visit to the finger-like Roques de Garcia rounds off the trip. It is a great place to view even more of the valley. What's more, because of the early morning start to the excursion, the queues will be shorter.
