Description

Guided hiking tour of the Teide National Park, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007.

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 like to call it, Las Cañadas del Teide. It is a depression of about 16 kilometres in diameter, caused by the sinking and sliding of the ancient Teide volcano. It is surrounded by a chain of semicircular mountains that reach a height of 2,715 metres, geological witnesses of the episodes that we will tell you about during our route. It is covered by numerous lava flows and volcanoes, which have given the landscape a great colour and a wealth of shapes, and by small plains covered with sand, areas that are easy to walk through, which are the "cañadas".

From practically every point in the National Park we can observe the imposing figure of Teide Volcano (3,715 metres above sea level), emblem of the island of Tenerife and Spain's highest peak, 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 as the highest mountain in the world for European travellers, whether it is quiet or plans to wake up and many other anecdotes that will allow you to get to know it better. If you want to climb to its peak, check our excursions .Mount Teide Ascent by Cable Car o Private Mount Teide Hike, as on this tour we will walk other parts of the National Park, where we will find the best viewpoints to contemplate and photograph it, and also many other geological and natural treasures..

We will walk along the trails of the National Park and, as well as talking about the geology and the Teide, you will discover 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 from the time of the ancient settlers of Tenerife, the Guanches, to the present day and be aware of the natural values that we are all trying to preserve together in this fragile place.

We will choose a different route each time to appreciate its richness and contrasts. You can also ask us for a specific route and we will put a date in our calendar. The difficulty of the route will be, in general, medium, but we will indicate each time if we do a simple or expert itinerary, so you can decide if you are ready to do it.
