A Landscape That Changes with the Seasons
One of the most fascinating features of Teide National Park is how dramatically its appearance changes throughout the year.
In Winter: The highest parts of the park can become covered in snow, transforming the volcanic landscape into a spectacular contrast of white mountain peaks and dark lava formations.
In Spring: The park comes alive with colour as its remarkable mountain vegetation begins to flower. Plants such as the famous Teide bugloss and white broom bring beautiful shades of red, pink and white to the landscape.
In Summer: The volcanic character of the national park becomes particularly striking, with black lava rocks contrasting against yellow, white and reddish volcanic sands.
Whatever the season, Teide National Park offers an extraordinary natural spectacle.
