Why You Should Visit Mount Teide, Tenerife

I visit Mount Teide Volcano in Tenerife, the highest peak in Spain
and an active volcano: but dormant at the moment! It's most recent eruption occurred in 1909 from the El Chinyero vent on the northwestern Santiago rift. Mount Teide is the third highest volcanic structure and most voluminous in the world after Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It is the highest peak on the Canary Islands and in the whole of Spain.it's the BEST Tenerife Excursion to do on the island!
The formation began 170,000 years ago following the giant collapse of the former volcanic edifice, which was even bigger than the one that stands today. That is how Las Cañadas caldera was formed. Today we can only see part of the escarpment because as the inside of Teide grew, it gradually filled the caldera with its materials.

Hey Simon, click the link in the description of this video 😉

[@derelikmaeltar4661]

Greetings from Tenerife. I am from the island. And I can tell you that you have made a great video. Just a few details: 1) Teide is the 3rd highest volcano in the world measured from the oceanic base. 2) The rupture that you comment on from 1909 is not from a Teide vent. It is an independent volcano like so many on the Island. 3) The part that you talk about a possible tsunami, the theories are not of an eruption on the island of Tenerife, but on the island of La Palma.

[@DJSOfficialUK]

Another interesting and good video, when visiting the island last June, Mount Teide was a place we all visited both in the day aswell at night, but not in the cable car. But staying on lower part section, is 100% an errie experience, but something worth seeing while visiting the island. If visit again, somewhere would love to revisit and experience again, maybe via cable car? By the way, if that did erupt, with the guards there, how long would you have to get down & evacuate everyone from that place aswell whole island via planes etc? Always wondered the question, because they reckon this would if erupted again take out and destroy the whole of the canary islands? With the Tsunami? If your on the island and don't evacuate, you will die, as explosion will kill you. So yeah with that in thought, if evacuations were needed, how long would it take you reckon to evacuate the whole island? Hoping it never erupts in my lifetime or ever, but just interested just incase? But apart from this, nice views from the top, I think La Guardia was island opposite? But not sure for defo, but nice island and destination Tenerife, 100% recommend anyone to visit. Cheers. 😀👍

[@johnproxov8664]

Thanks for the video. I almost let my wife convince me to book this.

[@elliebaskerville3039]

I loved watching this video brought back many memories of ascending the Pico with my father in 79 and again with my children in 01. Might be worth adding that the permit to climb further to the peak is free and bookable on-line and that mobility impaired people are no longer allowed to go up in the cable car. Apparently it's because they can't get us down in the event of an emergency.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

good point! thanks Ellie, don't forget to subscribe

[@michelevolpe3192]

@@WalkWithMeTim the permit is free, but you need to book in advance (about 2-3 months) which makes it difficult to match up with the cable car due to weather conditions. There is no way you can be certain how it is going to be and you can only cross your fingers to have good weather

Amazing experience really dear Tim 😍😍 thanks for sharing 💖🙏💐🤗

Thank you

[@julialilly2224]

Hi Tim, we visit Tenerife once a year and also mount Teide. I just wanted you to let you know that you don't have to pay extra for the permission. The problem is they only give a few permissions for each day and so they are booked out for weeks and months. You can get the permission for free on the Website from the goverment but as I said you should book it as soon as possible. Thanks for your beautiful Video and the Vibe you bring back to my Livingroom.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks for the info! Julia

[@fiucik1]

I hiked Teide in the first days of July last year and I couldn't recommend it more. The best experience of my life. Being on the top of the volcano, on my own. Amazing experience. You need a permit to access the peak, but the guards checking permits go down with the last cable car, so if don't mind going few hours down to the car park it can be done. They were suppose to go down at 5pm, and yet I had to wait till 6:30pm, but it was definitely worth it. I couldn't belive the view. Had a little can of beer that I dragged all the way up. Priceless :D I also recommend hiking the Pico Viejo. It's the second largest peak on Tenerife. It's this huge crater you can see from the viewpoint. Very demanding hike to be honest. Much tougher than hiking to the cable from the other side via Montana Blanca, mainly because of the loos volcanic sand. Very hard to go up with this surface. But the view of the crater is worth it. Unbelievable.

[@privatier6817]

I climbed the Pike twice. Without permission in the night/Sunset. And Second time with permission at midday. At Sunset its incredible! To See the giant perfect Triangle teide Shadow. Starting at 3am from The parking space you are at around 6:30 at the summit. When you are slow start at 2am. And enjoy the Stars at the night hike!

Would love to experience the cable car but not a fan of being squished in like sardines. Its like the bus you catch to the terminal when you planes too far away from a jet bridge/main terminal... Where you try to get on the bus first for a seat lol... exactly like the cable car.

Mate why not mention that you can smell the sulphur as you get to the top and you can do a walk around the side and see some of the vents. I did this a couple of years ago and struggled with hypoxia as the height means you can struggle due to the lack of oxygen.
