El Tanque walks

Magnificent, easy hike through a fairy-tale forest, past a black volcano and rocky landscapes. Easy and beautiful. Done with children aged 6 and 9, without any problems.

On the slopes of Spain's highest peak, the Pico de Teide, access to which is restricted.
You should book and ask for authorization to access the summit (3715m) with National Park wardens in advance.

Undoubtedly one of the most interesting hikes for those who don't have much time. Views of Mount Teide, lava flows, "Wild West" rock formations. You'll get an overview of the area's panoramas in a hike that's accessible to all.

In the Teide National Park, this hike takes you up to a superb summit which offers splendid views of Teide on one side, and the south coast of Tenerife on the other.
The route is very well marked, with signs at every crossroads. It's virtually impossible to get lost.
⚠️Please note the hunting season in the Park. See Practical Information. Updated October 21, 2022.

Montaña Amarilla was created by an underwater volcanic eruption, the crater of which still dominates the area. The sea and erosion have finished shaping the surrounding area into a curious and singular landscape found nowhere else on the island. The landscapes follow one another, with rows of volcanic cones dominated first by Teide, then by the coast, where the yellow rock that gives the mountain its name appears.
