Walking on the Moon around Teide

Walking on the Moon around Teide

Upon arrival at Teide National Park, situated at an altitude of 2,200 metres above sea level, we proceed to explore the vast volcanic caldera that has been transformed into an exceptional and renowned valley. We proceed along a route at the base of the substantial stratovolcano Teide, which forms the roof of Spain and the Atlantic Ocean. At 3715m, it is also the third largest underwater volcano in the world. Additionally, the National Park offers the opportunity to view its predecessor, which last erupted in 1798. Pico Viejo, which stands at 3,135 metres. As we traverse the lava fields, we will gain an understanding of the various types of volcanic material, while taking in an impressive landscape of domes, rocks, pitons, large craters, petrified lava waterfalls, immense chimneys, and an extraordinary lunar landscape. This natural area was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007 and has served as the backdrop for numerous celebrated science fiction films. We will observe the unique endemic flora and fauna, which have adapted to the extreme climatic conditions. At the conclusion of the excursion, we will exchange photographs and impressions of this remarkable locale, which offers a truly otherworldly experience.
