Exploring the history of Teide National Park, one of the Twelve Treasures of Spain, is like taking off on a captivating journey through time. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, established around scenic Mount Teide on the Spanish Canary Island of Tenerife, has a rich past. Its volcanic origins date back millions of years, creating not only the terrain of the park but the entire island. The indigenous Guanche people believed that Teide was the gate to hell. This location has served as the backdrop for movies like 'Fast and Furious 6', 'Rambo V: Last Blood', and 'Clash of the Titans' (2010). If you are planning to visit this amazing place, make sure you enjoy the coach trips through the park, and if you wish to enjoy the view from the peak, then remember to get the permit in advance.
