Mount Teide, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain Break yourself into volcanic tourism slowly by visiting Mount Teide on the Canarian island of Tenerife. Even though it’s classed as an active volcano, it’s minus the flowing lava which means it’s quite a safe place to start. That said, Mount Teide is Spain’s highest peak, and even though there is a cable car which will carry you most of the way up, if you want to view the cauldron it requires a further, quite strenuous, three-hour hike from the cable car station to reach the summit. Why Go? This volcano was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007 for being so geologically diverse it’s unique. Tenerife also has some fantastic beaches. If you go, take plenty of sunscreen because the sun in Tenerife can burn almost as hot as volcanic lava. When To Go? Summer temperatures in Tenerife can reach as high as 40°C or more which doesn’t lend itself well to arduous activities like hiking up mountains. In winter, Teide can be covered with snow with the temperatures at altitude falling below freezing. The best times to go are from the end of February through to the end of May or October and November. Mount Teide National Park ranks as the number one place to visit, not just in Spain, but in Europe, so go in the early morning to avoid the crowds.
