Transport
Wonderful half-day in Teide National Park. The bus was very comfortable and the knowledgeable guide explained to us all about Teide's unique volcanic landscape. We got to know lots about the tenerife geology and culture
Spain's highest peak looms over Tenerife. And it's not just Mt Teide itself that impresses all who set eyes upon it – the volcanic landscapes that surround it are the ideal setting for a day in the great outdoors. You'll also tour of the historic town of La Oratava and a drive through the Esperanza forest.
The fun kicks off in La Oratava. Its setting amid banana plantations is pure romance. You'll see the ‘House of the Balconies' and a volcanic stone church as well as the parks of the old town. From here, we'll drive into the heart of the island and Teide National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Follow a route through lunar-like lava fields and over rocky ridges. At 3,718 metres, Mt Teide is a sight to behold.
On the return to your hotel, we'll drive through the Esperanza forest. Here, tall Canarian pines – unique to these islands – cover the often misty slopes of the Cumbre Dorsal range. A trip that combines ever-changing landscapes with the dazzling panoramic views of the island.
