 INFORMATION ON THE PARK or CENTRE SELECTED

 THE PARK

The National Park, mainly composed of two huge craters separated by the Roques de García, is located above 1.650 metres, with the Teide, the highest peak of Spain and the whole macaronesic region, at 3.717,98 m.

Situated in the central part of the island of Tenerife, it occupies 18.900 hectares and every year receives more than three million visits. Together with its geological importance and its spectacular landscape, the extreme altitude, the strong insolation, the thermal amplitude and the lack of humidity determine the presence of a rich and singular flora adapted to the harshness of the environment.

Its most interesting fauna is invertebrate, with more than 1.400 species, many of which are endemic and have an important scientific value. In 1989, the Council of Europe awarded the European Diploma for Protected Areas and since 2007 it is included in the UNESCO’s World Heritage List as a Natural Site.
