Panorama Hike Teide National Park
Panorama Hike Teide National Park
The tour commences with an ascent to the summit of Samara Volcano (1937m), offering unparalleled vistas of neighbouring volcanic cones, the island of La Gomera and the Teno Mountains. We then proceed on foot through a beautiful Canary pine forest, which has colonised a volcanic landscape of pyroclasts from recent eruptions. The route then proceeds along a path traversing black ash, situated between green pines and a blue sky, where the appearance of the mystic sea of clouds may offer an unexpected surprise. We then proceed to continue our route up the slopes of the La Botija Volcano until we reach a vantage point where we can admire the impressive natural scenery offered by the Montaña Reventada (2230m), Pico Viejo (3135m) and Teide (3715m) volcanoes. The distinctive and otherworldly landscape evokes a sense of being on a different planet. The flora is diverse, comprising brooms, laburnums, rose bushes and pine trees. With regard to the fauna, it is possible to observe a number of endemic birds that inhabit the areas where the pine forest meets the broom. This natural area was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2007 and has served as a filming location for several notable science fiction films. We conclude our excursion at a local restaurant, where we propose a toast to mark the end of this successful day and share our impressions. Wear hiking shoes or trainers with good soles and bring raincoat, warm clothes, hat, sun protection and enough water with you.
