Description

The Teide Tour without Cable Car offers a comfortable and eco-friendly way to explore Mount Teide, Europe’s most-visited national park. This guided excursion eliminates the hassle of parking and driving, allowing you to fully enjoy your visit. Pick-up is available from various locations on the island, including the north, south, and metropolitan areas like Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Candelaria. An official guide will accompany you throughout, providing valuable insights into the park’s natural and cultural heritage. As you ascend from the coast, you’ll pass through mid-altitude zones where historic towns like Arona, La Orotava, and Santiago del Teide are located. Depending on your route, you may experience the lush, fog-covered forests of the north or the drier, pine-covered landscapes from the south. At the high mountain zone, you’ll be greeted by a breathtaking sea of clouds and unique flora, including broom, laburnum, and the rare Teide violet at higher altitudes. The journey includes key stops highlighting important sights related to Tenerife’s volcanic history. A notable feature is the Roques de García, where you can view the iconic Roque Cinchado, a volcanic formation once featured on Spain’s 1,000 peseta banknote. Your guide will provide engaging commentary sharing fascinating details about the island’s formation and Teide volcano, the tallest in Spain and the third highest in the world from its base on the ocean floor. The Teide Legend digital audio guide, included in your booking, offers detailed information in eight languages.
