Excursion to the National Park of Las Cañadas del Teide

Monday 22th, June 2009

This National Park offers a fascinating landscape, created by the elementary forces of the volcano Teide. With a height of 3.718 meters the Teide is not only the highest mountain of Spain, but as well the highest elevation in all the Atlantic Ocean. A cableway takes visitors up to 3.600 meters.

On clear days you have a fantastic view. Equally impressive is the volcano's immense crater, with a circumference of approximately 80 kilometers.

At the side of Teide there is a large flat area called Las Cañadas, having been used by the island's original population, the Guanches, as-pastureland. Today it is covered with petrified lava of very peculiar forms. In this area exist some endemic species of plants and insects.
