Der Nationalpark El Teide (spanisch Parque nacional del Teide) ist ein Schutzgebiet auf der spanischen Insel Teneriffa. Er ist nach dem Berg Teide benannt, wurde 1954 eingerichtet und 2007 zum UNESCO-Welterbe erklärt. Der Nationalpark ist das größte und älteste Schutzgebiet dieser Art auf den Kanarischen Inseln. Das Areal wird durch Waldbrände bedroht.Der Nationalpark El Teide ist auch ein beliebtes Wandergebiet. Ein Netz von derzeit 38 offiziellen Wanderrouten führt zu seinen verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten.
The national park offers a glimpse of another planet. Its volcanic landscape is unique and beautiful. The park offers a wide range of activities from cycling, hiking or visiting a cafe with stunning views - there is something for everyone. Ideal for one-day or multi-day trips. Definitely a must see in Tenerife.
Effective trip planning (they picked us up close to the hotel, and they announced the pickup time via a telephone call and WhatsApp). The night time view of Teide is spectacularly spooky (it's almost pitch black). I recommend planning your trip when there is a new moon and few or no clouds, so you can see most of the stars. In any case, the skyline was beautiful; we also had a guide (speaking in Spanish+English) telling us about different constellations, stars and planets that we can see at that time. It was also convenient that we arrived just in time to see Venus, then all the other things. The actual time we spent stargazing was about an hour, so if you plan to do long exposure photos, you're probably better off renting a car and going on your own.
Whatever could be said about Teide won’t do justice to it’s beauty. One has to visit Teide to feel the magic.
Amazing experience driving up here on surprisingly well kept roads. The views are absolutely unreal and the different terrains and scenery is beautiful. It can be very cold which shocked us as it was a very hot day on the beach. We drove up to the cable car but the next available car was a couple of hours later as we didn’t know you had to book online. It was nice to stop and get a coffee though and see the views.
Spectacular view points and remains of vulcanic activity all around Teide National Park. Make sure you bring sunscreen and warm clothing as the climate is very different from the rest of the island.
