Discover Teide National Park
A Natural and Astronomical Treasure in the Heart of Tenerife
Spanning around 190 square kilometres in the heart of Tenerife, Teide National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Canary Islands’ most iconic natural treasures.
At its centre rises Mount Teide (El Teide), Spain’s highest peak at 3,718 metres above sea level, and the third tallest volcanic structure on the planet. Surrounded by dramatic lava fields, ancient calderas, and high-altitude ecosystems, the park is home to unique flora and fauna — including endemic plants, the Tenerife lizard, and vast Canarian pine forests.
Thanks to Tenerife’s mild year-round climate and striking volcanic landscapes, Teide National Park draws millions of hikers, photographers, and nature lovers each year.
But it’s not just a daytime destination.
As the sun sets on the golden hour, the park transforms into one of the world’s top stargazing locations.
Recognised in 2014 as both a Starlight Tourist Destination and Starlight Reserve, Teide offers some of the clearest skies in Europe, with minimal light pollution and ideal atmospheric conditions.
On a clear night, you can spot the Milky Way, constellations, planets, meteor showers, and even the Andromeda Galaxy — many with the naked eye.
Whether you're soaking in a sunset above the sea of clouds or joining a guided Tenerife stargazing tour, Teide National Park delivers an unforgettable experience, day or night. With expert-led excursions, powerful telescopes, and front-row views of the cosmos, it’s easy to see why Teide is considered a global stargazing hotspot.
