Parque Nacional do Teide (Parque nacional del Teide)
O Parque Nacional do Teide ocupa a zona máis alta da illa de Tenerife, nas Canarias. Declarado o 22 de xaneiro de 1954 como parque nacional, é o máis grande e antigo dos parques nacionais das Illas Canarias, e un dos máis antigos de España. En 2007 foi declarado Patrimonio da Humanidade pola UNESCO e tamén desde ese ano o Parque Nacional do Teide é considerado como un dos 12 Tesouros de España.Nesta zona atópase o volcán do Teide que cos seus 3.718 metros, é o pico máis alto de Canarias, de España e de calquera terra emerxida do Océano Atlántico. É ademais, o terceiro volcán máis grande do mundo desde a súa base, só superado polo Mauna Loa e o Mauna Kea en Hawai. Xunto ao Teide atópase a segunda montaña máis alta do Arquipélago Canario, o Pico Viejo con 3.135 metros sobre o nivel do mar, sendo ambos as únicas montañas canarias que exceden os 3.000 metros de altitude.
O Parque Nacional do Teide, foi en 2008 o Parque nacional máis visitado dos catro cos que contan as Illas Canarias cun total de 2,8 millóns de visitantes, segundo datos do Instituto Canario de Estatística (ISTAC), sendo ademais o Parque Nacional máis visitado de España, o máis visitado de Europa e o segundo do mundo con 3.142.148 visitantes en 2007.

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.
