Description
Private excursion with guide and transport included to the Teide National Park, protected since 1954 and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007 for its volcanic treasures and the beauty of its landscapes.
Located in the centre of the island of Tenerife, more than 2,000 metres above sea level, we find the Caldera del Teide, or as the locals call it, Las Cañadas del Teide. It is a depression of about 16 kilometres in diameter, caused by the collapse and landslide of the ancient Teide volcano. It is surrounded by a semicircular mountain range that reaches a height of 2,715 metres, a geological witness to the episodes we will tell you about during our tour. Its bottom is covered by numerous lava flows and volcanoes, which have given the landscape a great colour and a variety of shapes, and by small plains covered with sand, areas of easy transit on foot, which are the "cañadas".
From practically every point in the National Park we can observe the imposing figure of the Teide Volcano (3,715 metres above sea level), the emblem of the island of Tenerife and the highest peak in Spain, which rises in the northern part of the Caldera. We will tell you how this volcanic colossus came into being, how it was considered for several centuries to be the highest mountain in the world by European travellers and explorers, whether it is calm or plans to erupt, and many other anecdotes that will help you get to know it better. If you want to climb to its peak, check our Private Tour Teide and Cable Car. On this tour we will focus on exploring the Caldera of the National Park, stopping at the best viewpoints to contemplate and photograph Teide, and discovering many other geological and natural treasures.
We will visit the National Park to talk to you about the geology and volcanism of Teide, the rich biodiversity of plant and animal species that inhabit it, understand the mountain climate of the islands, learn about the uses that have been developed in this territory since the time of the ancient inhabitants of Tenerife, the Guanches, to the present day and become aware of the natural values that we are trying to preserve together in this fragile place. We will walk through areas of pumice stone, such as Las Minas de San José, where many films have been shot, and we will enter the Portillo Visitor Centre.
Come and discover the Teide National Park with Canarias Nature Guides it will be a memorable and enriching part of your trip to Tenerife..
