- People with cardiovascular conditions, pregnant women, and children under the age of 3 are not allowed on the Cable Car, because of the risks posed to their health by the altitude.

- It is essential to bear in mind that in the event of the failure of the cable car system due to unexpected technical reasons, passengers already at the upper station will have to make their descent on foot and using steep mountain paths.

Description
Teide Tour excursion to Teide National Park
If you want to enjoy the Teide National Park in all its glory, exclusively for you and your friends, without anybody else, exploring the nooks and crannies of one of the world’s most visited national parks, the Teide Tour VIP is the trip to Teide that you and your friends are looking for.
Throughout this 8-hour excursion to Teide you will enjoy more than spectacular volcanic landscapes.
Furthermore, on Teide Tour you will behold the volcanoes that caused the most recent eruptions in Tenerife. You will also learn how the Canary Islands were formed.
You will definitely want to play a mini quiz with your friends about the Teide after your VIP tour!
The Teide Tour does not include a meal; however, your group will have some free time to eat together and talk about all the fun you are having!
Complete your trip with a cable car ride
There’s no better way to finish off your delightful group visit to the Teide National Park than to behold the indescribable landscape of the largest national park in the Canary Islands together from above, with the Teide Cable Car.
The diverse views from the Teide Cable Car’s upper station are superb. We cater for different tastes and preferences, so, if you cannot agree on doing the same thing, you can always split into smaller groups and share your photos and talk about what you did when you get back to the hotel. Choose the viewpoint of La Rambleta to behold the Seven Cañadas and the Ucanca Valley, or walk one the two freely accessible trails that the Teide Cable Car’s upper station offers to hiking enthusiasts, boasting views of the northern and the southern part of Tenerife.
Live the Teide Legend at the Teide “Science and Legend” exhibition!
VIP Teide Tour includes free admission to the “Science and Legend” exhibition which you will find at the Teide Cable Car Visitors’ Centre.
You will learn about Mount Teide’s last major eruption (around 1,000 years ago) which the indigenous Guanches probably interpreted as a fight between mythological deities—an explanation far removed from that which science now attributes to volcanic eruptions.
The characters of the legend of Guayota, both gods and humans, will show you their vision of the stages of the eruption that took place back then, and which formed the pylon at the summit of Mount Teide, known locally as “el tapón del Teide” [the Teide cap]. A magical story in which good and evil join in an epic battle. Along with the legend, you will be shown reliable data to illustrate the scientific interpretation of the eruption. Although the two perspectives may seem diametrically opposed, they are in fact closely connected.
In addition, you can have a great time at our Visitors’ Centre, where you can find brilliant mementoes of your visit to the legend of the Teide National Park at our official souvenir shop. And you can relax and enjoy a culinary experience with panoramic views of the National Park in Spain’s highest restaurant and snack bar, whose badge of identity is the distinctly Canary Island character of its food and drink.
