Teide National Park (Teleférico del Teide) (1)

Unesco World Heritage site comprising a 10-mile-wide volcanic crater which dominates the centre of the island. At its heart, the Mount Teide volcano rises to 3,718m (12,198ft) above sea level, making it Spain’s highest peak. A cable car takes visitors 1,200m (3,937ft) above the crater floor to mesmerising views over much of the Canarian archipelago.[/rad_page_widget][/rad_page_container][/rad_page_section][rad_page_section id=’rpsNC96IJFB6SOP48PD9NU36L7QN9SAOES6′ section_name=’Section’ v_padding=” classes=” visibility=’None’ background_opts=” background_color=” background_image=” background_position=” background_cover=” background_repeat=” background_attachment=” background_gradient_dir=” start_gr=” end_gr=’#eeeeee’ video_url=” border_top_width=’0′ border_top_color=” border_top_type=” border_bottom_width=’0′ border_bottom_color=” border_bottom_type=” ][rad_page_container id=’rpcV27SG489QJLIXIW5WMU1AJ6M73DF4Y2B’ layout=’full’ first=’true’ last=’true’ top=’true’ classes=” visibility=’None’ float=’left’ background_opts=” background_color=” background_opacity=” background_image=” background_position=” background_cover=” background_repeat=” background_attachment=” background_gradient_dir=” start_gr=” end_gr=’#eeeeee’ border_top_width=’0′ border_top_color=” border_top_type=” border_bottom_width=’0′ border_bottom_color=” border_bottom_type=” ][rad_page_widget id=’rpwMWPOJWF2IL0K7J6T9M3R6PH1WBIOKGUW’ type=’rad_text_widget’ last=’true’ top=’true’ type=’rad_text_widget’ text_title=’Siam Park’ text_subtitle=” rich_key=’text_data’ col_alignment=’left’ visibility=’none’ delay=” clear_float=’no’ icon=” icon_margin=’5′ icon_alignment=’left’ icon_animation=’none’ title_color=’#000000′ subtitle_color=’#878787′ text_color=’#000000′ title_size=’27’ title_w=” subtitle_size=’23’ subtitle_w=” text_size=’17’ cb_margin=” ct_margin=” tt_margin=” st_margin=” tet_margin=” rich_key=’text_data’ type=’rad_text_widget’ id=’rpwMWPOJWF2IL0K7J6T9M3R6PH1WBIOKGUW’ ]Siam Park is one of the best things to do in Tenerife.
