Teide National Park

About

Journey to Tiede, the most visited national park in Europe that welcomes over 3 million people a year. In the jaw-dropping surrounds of the park is Mount Tiede, described by UNESCO and NASA as the third-tallest volcanic structure in the world - and it looks as breathtaking as it sounds. Covered in a snowy peak and jagged with petrified lava, the behemoth reaches an impressive height of 7,500 meters. Purchase a cable car ride to reach a lookout point with stunning views, or book a guided walk at the national park office to ensure you do Tiede right. Feast your eyes on flora and fauna endemic to the area such as the Tenerife lizard, Tenerife gecko and the Corsican mouflon. Count yourself lucky if you spot the “red bugloss” blooming in spring, amongst the magnificent mise en scene of Tiede National Park.
