Detailed itinerary

This half-day excursion is ideal for those who wish to explore Teide National Park and return to the hotel in the afternoon to enjoy the rest of the day.

The tour will take you from the coast to the highest point in Tenerife, passing through Canary Island pine forests and traditional villages such as Vilaflor. Along the way we will make stops to admire Las Cañadas del Teide. We will visit Los Roques de García, located at the foot of Teide, the highest peak in Spain at 3,718 m. This volcano, in the heart of Tenerife, is the main reason why Teide National Park, declared in 1954, is the most visited in Europe.

The excursion does not include the Teide cable car or the visit to its base. To experience being at 3,550 meters high on the highest peak in Spain, you can book our Teide National Park excursion. Finally, we will resume the march to continue admiring this incredible natural space on the way back.
