Quick Tips

The area surrounding Teide was declared a Parque Nacional in 1954. Because of the unique nature of the environment, extremely high altitude and low humidity the area around Teide is home to a very specialised ecosystem of hardy flora and fauna adapted to survive in extreme conditions. 

Teleferico Teide is a cable car company that will whisk you the elevated reaches of Teide, though not currently to the crater. The patter of thousands of tourist feet have over the years caused some erosion to the majestic Teide. Restrictions are now in place to limit the number of visitors that tromp about the tip of Teide including making it a bit harder to get there.

You can still reach the crater - just not via cable car (though Teleferico will still ferry between viewpoints). 

Now if you wish to visit the top of Teide you must first apply for a dated permission pass from:
