The highest volcanic peak in Spain imposes itself majestically before our eyes. At 3715 metres (yes, you read that right, it is no longer 3718m… nevertheless it’s still colossal) it rises above the sea. A volcanic edifice that hides under the Atlantic waters a base of approximately the same height, giving the Teide volcano third place in the world in terms of volcanic structures.
Volcanoes have always been associated with their magnanimity, energy, and might… Humans have always been surprised by the inexplicable forces of nature, and for this reason, some cultures have endowed them with their own personality. In Tenerife, the aboriginal Guanche tribes told us the legend of the Echeyde, the abode of Guayota, the evil one.
On our tours you will learn about the origin and geological features of these incredible formations that have emerged from the bottom of the ocean. How the flora and fauna have adapted to this territory, and about their relationship with our people, and what possibilities they offer us to benefit from them, as well as allowing us to enjoy the environment from a different perspective.
Perhaps we all, …, have a little volcano inside us?
