Teide National Park is the highest part of Tenerife and one of the best drives on the island. Four roads lead into the park: TF-21 from Vilaflor and La Orotava, TF-24 from La Laguna and TF-38 from Chío.
The route from the south
From our office take the TF-1 to the TF-51 and climb through Vilaflor, one of the highest villages in Spain, to join the TF-21. The road is wide and well surfaced but has many bends.
Weather and road closures
It is often 10–15 °C colder at the top than on the coast. After snow the Cabildo closes the access roads; check the current status before you go.
Fuel and charging
There is no petrol station inside the park. Fill up or charge on the coast before the climb.
Parking
Car parks at the cable car and the main viewpoints fill up by mid-morning. Arrive early, or plan your visit for late afternoon.
