Teide National Park
Teide National Park is located on Tenerife Island, covering an area of 18,990 hectares and is characterized by the Teide stratovolcano. At an elevation of 3,718 meters, it is the highest peak in Spain. Rising 7,500 meters from the ocean floor, the Teide Natural Park is considered the third tallest volcanic structure in the world, surrounded by spectacular scenery.
Due to the climate conditions that cause the landscape's features and hues to constantly change, as well as the dramatic contrast provided by the sea of clouds against the mountain, the visual impact of the site is even more stunning. Teide Volcano Park holds global significance as it bears witness to the geological processes of island evolution and serves as an important complement to other volcanic heritage sites listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, such as Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in the United States.
