HikingTenerife has places that leave us speechless. One of them is undoubtedly the Teide National Park, a natural wonder and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today we want to share one of our most unforgettable experiences: the Teide excursion with a cable car ride.
From the very beginning, the journey takes us through a volcanic landscape that feels like another planet. As we drive up, we witness the ecosystem changing: from Canarian pine forests to the dry, lava-sculpted terrain of Las Cañadas del Teide.
Arriving at the starting point, we can feel the excitement. The cable car takes us from the base to the upper station, at over 3,500 meters of altitude. In just eight minutes, we ascend in silence, through black rock and endless sky. And the views? Simply stunning. On a clear day, we can see La Gomera, El Hierro, and La Palma from above.
At the top, we walk one of the authorized trails. It’s crucial to respect the surroundings and follow the guide’s advice — we’re in a unique and fragile ecosystem. The air is thinner, so we take our time, enjoying every step and every view.
What surprised us most was the energy of the place. The silence, the wind, the crunch of rocks beneath our feet… everything connects us with something deeper. And of course, we couldn’t leave without taking the classic photo with Teide in the background — a memory that will last forever.
This Teide experience is more than just a tour: it’s a chance to connect with nature, with Tenerife’s volcanic history, and with ourselves.
💡 Tip: bring warm clothing, sunscreen, and sturdy shoes. And don’t worry if you’re afraid of heights — the cable car is smooth and very safe.
