O Parque Nacional do Teide ocupa a zona mais alta da ilha de Tenerife e de Espanha (nas Canárias). Foi declarado a 22 de janeiro de 1954 como Parque Nacional del Teide, sendo o maior e mais antigo dos parques nacionais das Ilhas Canárias e um dos mais antigos de Espanha.
Em 2007 foi declarado Património da Humanidade pela UNESCO, no mesmo ano também foi integrado na lista dos Doze tesouros da Espanha. Ele também é um dos parques nacionais mais visitados em Europa e do mundo. Em 2016, ele foi visitado por 4,079,823 visitantes e turistas atingindo uma alta recorde.
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.
Gigantic vulcanic crater and mountain.unique experience.need good boots.nice forest from Santa cruz
