Teide via Montaña Blanca – Tenerife

Of course, the climb to Teide can never be missing from a Collection about the Canary Islands. The highest peak of the islands (and also of Spain) can be seen from different points of Tenerife, rising majestically like the colossus that it is.

The itinerary that we propose in this Collection takes you to the very summit of the volcano, leaving from Montaña Blanca. The ascent is not technically complicated, but it is hard due to the progressive increase in altitude (you go from 1,367 to 3,718 meters). Of course, the views that the path gives you and the uniqueness of the environment will make you completely forget about the lack of oxygen and the titanic effort. It is very likely that you will have to stop every few meters simply to enjoy the landscape that opens before your eyes.

It is important that you remember that, to make the final stretch to the crater, it is necessary to request a permit on the national park website: www.reservasparquesnacionales.es/real/parquesnac/usu/html/detalle-activity-oapn.aspx? cen=2&act=1

Finally, keep in mind that the proposed itinerary is linear. When you reach the top, you can choose to retrace the path to return to the starting point or take the cable car. As an alternative, you can also do the Route in two days, spending the night at the Altavista refuge.
