A day trip to the Teide National Park makes a complete contrast to life on the coast, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty of wildflowers rather than the more commercialised life on the coast. Teide National Park is home to Pico del Teide, the third highest volcano in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is Spain's highest mountain topped by a vast volcanic crater and featuring trails of otherworldly solidified lava. Massive and beautiful,it will make you feel very small. You can cheat and take the cable car to get to its 3,718 metre high peak or do it the hard way walking up along the trails. Either way you will be rewarded by incredible views. You’ll be amazed at what manages to grow here! The plants have to cope with high altitude, intense sunlight, extreme temperature variations and lack of moisture, but even so, the diversity of plant species here is amazing and there are some that are not found anywhere else.
