Mount Teide is the most popular attraction in Tenerife, and there's no better way to discover it than this hike. This 9km guided trek introduces you to the rare flora and fauna on the mountain as well as the lava flows. Once you've acclimatized to the altitude, you'll be met with knockout views over Tenerife and the other islands. This is a low/medium intensity hike, where you'll be walking for around three hours.

The tour guide Ann from GaiaTours was an excellent guide, funny and knew a lot of amazing information about the national park and volcano. It was a low intensity hike as described in the description but your footing could be very instable at times due to walking across lava rocks (imagine walking across a pebble beach). We had plenty of breaks including one break 2 hours into the hike, at a museum to eat in the shade. Hike was 3 hours, plus travel, pre/post hike breaks and photo time. Worth it!

Fewer hotel pick ups to reduce travel time

It was an awesome hiking experience. Guide and driver both were super funny and very experienced. I loved the views, the hike and exploring of La Orotava town at the end of the day. Make sure you get dressed accordingly to hiking and have a proper footwear, and use good sunscreen + hat.

Kun tilaa ensimmäisen kerran matkan Tuin kautta voisi korostaa,että lähtö reissuun ei ole hotellilta.Kiitos opas Virpille, joka järjesti minut uuteen rwissuun,kun ymmärsin noutopaikan väärin.Tämä pelasti tilanteen!! Patikointireissut Teidelle olivat hyviä ja asiantunteva opas!!
