Hike to the top of Mount Teide
Welcome to Tenerife!
This year I decided to spend 6 weeks living here
close by this beautiful park
and I got to explore the island quite a bit
When most people think of the Canary Islands
they think that you can only find sun and beaches here
but there is much much more than that here
The people in Santa Cruz in the north are very friendly
and the nightlife is really lively
But the best part for me was hiking up to the peak of mount Teide
I was lucky enough to go along with some local islanders!
This was our first stop along the way at an altitude of 2,000m
which meant that we were driving well above the clouds
Here we are!
We did run into a problem along the way when the car broke down
but we managed to hitched a ride up to the car park at the base of the hiking trek
now at 2,350m altitude
The rest of the way up would be on foot.
After hiking up 500m we stopped for a bite to eat and to enjoy the views
but we soon continued on!
After about 4 hours hiking
we finally made it to the refuge at dusk
It was time to rest
we had already hiked up almost 1,000m
We had to get up at 5am to make sure we wouldn't miss the sunrise from the top
The hike in pitch-black was dangerous and cold
and there still quite a bit ahead of us
But eventually, just as the sun was rising...
we made it!!
The peak is at an altitude of 3,718m
and is the world's third largest volcano
The cable car shook a little bit on the way down
and someone got a fright!
Another unforgettable experience!!
But it was time to go home...
