Embrace the Equinox: A Journey Through Teide National Park

As the sun rises over Santa Cruz de Tenerife on March 15th, the island beckons with the promise of adventure. The Spring Equinox is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than by immersing yourself in the volcanic wonders of Teide National Park? With clear skies and a high UV index, it’s the perfect day to explore the rugged landscapes and breathe in the crisp mountain air.

Start your afternoon with the Teide Adventure tour, a small group experience that takes you deep into the heart of the park. From 3:30 PM to 8:30 PM, you’ll traverse winding roads and ascend to heights where the clouds are your companions. The journey begins in Vilaflor, a quaint village where you can acclimatize with a cup of local coffee. As you continue, marvel at the ancient El Pino Gordo, a towering pine that stands as a testament to the island’s natural history.

The tour offers breathtaking views from the Mirador de Vilaflor, where you can see the neighboring island of Gran Canaria. As you venture further, the Mirador de Boca Tauce provides a stunning vista of the Teide Volcano and the surrounding lava fields. The highlight of the day is undoubtedly the Los Roques de Garcia, where the lunar-like landscapes transport you to another world. As the sun sets, you’ll return to your hotel, your heart full of the island’s magic.

“Great way to see the Teide - The Teide national park is a must-see for anyone visiting Tenerife - stunning scenery! This 4-hour small group tour is ideal if pressed for time: lots of photo stops and time to take it all in at the crater, plus we had lots of information from Ozzi our tour guide.” - Reviewed on 2025-01-09
