Mount Teide, a volcano on Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Spain, is the highest point in Spain and a popular tourist destination. Accessibility varies; a cable car provides access to near the summit, but reaching the very top requires a permit and a challenging hike. Both solo and guided visits are common, with guided tours offering insights into the area's geology and ecology. Seasonal restrictions may apply, particularly during winter when snow and ice can make the summit inaccessible. The cost can range from the price of a cable car ticket to more comprehensive tour packages. A typical visit can last from a few hours to a full day, depending on activities chosen. Book permits and tours in advance, especially during peak season. Be aware of altitude sickness.
