In this article about ascending Mount Teide by car on our blog, you’ll find an interesting guide with the most important points of interest along each route to Mount Teide. However, we recommend not using a car and choosing collective transportation because it is important that together we do what we can to counteract overuse of the vehicle parking areas in the National Park. As a conservation measure, they have been kept to a small size, and they cannot be extended. If you ultimately decide to come by car, it’s a good idea to arrive after 1.00pm.
Moreover, if you finally decide to travel independently and would like to access the most comprehensive audio guide to Teide National Park, hear from legendary figures about volcanoes, geology, and the history of Mount Teide on an audio-guided tour to the main viewpoints and points of interest, and have information about the best trails near the Teide Cable Car base and top stations, we recommend choosing the ticket for the ascent and descent + audio guide.
