Teide National Park
Central Tenerife, Spain
Teide National Park offers a landscape whose scale becomes clear through lava fields, changing colours and the presence of the Teide–Pico Viejo volcanic structure. The experience need not depend on reaching the summit: viewpoints and appropriately chosen walks reveal the geological processes that shaped the island. Choose a route suited to your ability and leave time to observe the changing light. This is a high-mountain outing, with conditions distinct from those on Tenerife’s coast.
