National Nature Park Las Cañadas del Teide In Tenerife

The most popular national park of nature in Spain is on the island of Tenerife. Park Las Cañadas del Teide is located in the center of the island. The majestic volcano, around which craters and frozen lava formed, rises in the heart of Tenerife. A lot of tourists who spend their holidays in Spain are attracted to this spectacle.

Even when the Teide volcano was 5000 meters high, and at its top was always snow, the Spaniards named the island in his honor - "Snow Mountain". Now this "miracle of the world" is already much lower, the height of the mountain is 3700 meters.

In general, the Teide mountain range is a collection of several volcanoes that stretches from west to east almost across the whole of Tenerife. A crater formed around the mountain massif, the height of its edges reaching six hundred meters in some places. Almost the entire crater is filled with frozen lava and rocks of very unusual shapes.

Especially for tourists near the edges of the crater built car camping and observation deck. It was placed so that photos taken from this place are very colorful. Against the backdrop of Mount Teide, you will see several cliff-shaped rocks. Be sure to fall into the frame of the rock of Los Roques de Garcia, the lower part of which is six six times narrower than the upper one. In addition, this rock has an unusual green tint.

On the island of Tenerife, all tourists are invited to participate in an organized excursion to Mount Teide. According to the excursion program, tourists together with a professional guide who speaks Russian, visit the observation deck, make for themselves some excellent pictures and admire the lunar forms frozen in the most unusual forms of lava. Indeed, when you look towards the volcano, it seems that you are on another planet, on the Moon or on Mars. Next, the group on the funicular rail rises to the first observation deck on Mount Teide. Here, the guide conducts a story about the formation of this place and all its features, while spending tourists through the pine forest, which is above the clouds. After that, again, the ascent to the uppermost area of the mountain range begins, for this, funiculars are also provided. This site is at the highest point of the island - on top of the volcano. But only those tourists who have previously issued a permit to visit this place will be able to climb here. So if you are considering for your holiday tours to Spain on the island of Tenerife and want to conquer the highest mountain, then book for yourself a certificate authorizing to make such a trip. As a rule, problems with its design do not arise. The whole hitch is that it will take a whole month to complete the registration. I advise you to choose such tours to Spain, with the purchase of which will immediately be issued and a visa, and permission to climb Mount Teide.

Many people, hearing the word "volcano", immediately get frightened and refuse to go on vacation to the island of Tenerife. And in vain! After all, the last time the volcano erupted a very long time, in 1798, and in the near future no activity is forecasted. But, as a result of previous eruptions, the island formed an extraordinary beauty landscapes, which united under one name - the park Las Cañadas del Teide.

I wish you that your holiday in Spain was unforgettable!
