Teide Peak
Distance – 17km

The majority of visitors arrive at Teide Mount via cable car. However, if you wish to climb to the crater, you’ll need a special permit, which is reserved for weeks (months during peak season) in advance.
Teide and Pico Viejo
Distance – 21 km
Time – 10 hours

If you want to trek Teide Peak by yourself, then follow these trails:
- American state Blanca – Pico Viejo – Teide Crater
