TELEFERICO

Visit the summit of Spain’s highest mountain aboard the Mount Teide cable car and enjoy some of the most stunning panoramic views imaginable. Standing more than 3700 metres above sea level, this active volcano is a must-see when in Tenerife. The peak is the focal point of the Teide National Park, which is famed for its harsh and unforgiving landscapes that range in appearance from the Wild West to Siberia. The special climate, altitude and volcanic formations all add to this special experience.

First we’ll head up mighty Mount Teide, the snow-capped volcanic peak looming over the whole island. As we climb, we’ll pass through four different climate zones, which create an ever-changing kaleidoscope of terrains, flora and fauna. Plantations of semi-tropical fruit give way to fragrant pine and cedar forests before you reach a lunar landscape where the only inhabitants seem to be lava and rocks of all imaginable hues. The skies and atmospheric conditions here are among the best in the world for astronomical observation and the landscapes are simply breath-taking. Weird rock formations of different hues of red, ochre and brown stand out stark against a cobalt sky. And looming above it all the impressive snow-capped peak of the Teide, the magic mountain of Tenerife.

Then weather permitting you can ride the cable car up to the summit for some unforgettable views over the whole of Tenerife and the rest of the Canary archipelago emerging from the misty Atlantic.
