What to expect

Experience the otherworldly beauty of Teide National Park on this unforgettable volcanic hiking adventure.
This 5 km circular trail takes you through surreal lava landscapes, black ash slopes, and ancient craters.

Your adventure begins with a comfortable hotel pickup in a modern minibus. After a scenic drive through the park, we start our hike near Samara Volcano, one of the most scenic and less-crowded spots in the area.

The trail begins with a short ascent to the volcano’s summit, offering sweeping 360° views of Mount Teide and the vast Atlantic Ocean. From here, the world unfolds in layers of lava, volcanic cones, and drifting clouds — an unforgettable sight.

We then continue along a circular route (5 km, 220 m elevation gain) winding through frozen lava rivers and rugged volcanic terrain. You’ll witness where fiery lava once flowed, creating mesmerizing formations and walls of black rock. Along the way, we’ll make multiple photo stops to capture Martian-like landscapes.

This tour is designed for travelers who love nature, photography, and exploration. It’s an easy-to-moderate hike — accessible yet adventurous — offering a genuine connection with the island’s volcanic heart.
