Full description

If you’re travelling to Tenerife, and planning a visit to the Teide National Park, you need to include the Teide Legend experience on your list of things to do in Tenerife. 

Learn about the legend that surrounds the Teide volcano at the "Science and Legend" exhibition, which you will find at the Teide Cable Car Visitors’ Centre, a facility that includes an exhibition hall, café, shop, and sanitary area.

A fun, yet cultural, activity based on the legend of the Teide volcano, where gods and humans will tell the story of Mount Teide’s last great eruption (which took place about a thousand years ago) both from the point of view of the indigenous Guanches and from the modern scientific perspective. The exhibition also explains how the island’s first inhabitants, the Guanches, used the resources provided by the Teide volcano. 

This is one Tenerife activity that is perfect to enjoy with children and to complete your visit to the Teide National Park—even if the cable car is closed.

Amazing view. It was crowded as hell, we had to wait 30-40 minutes to find somewhere to sit, and it was in may( not busy season). Food was quite nice, we had a chicken sandwich and a pork burger was pretty delicious. I see some reviews about bad food and after effects but we didnt get anything like that. It is a little bit expensive but normal for a place like that.

(Translated by Google) Cafeteria with a beautiful view. Consider buying a drink (like a coffee) first so you can enjoy the view and use the restrooms all day using the QR code on your receipt. Otherwise, the restrooms cost €1 with the QR code at the entrance. One star less for the cafeteria because there are several flies. (Original) Cafeteria avec une tres belle vue. N’hésitez pas à venir d’abord acheter une boisson (un café par exemple) afin de pouvoir profiter de la vue et des toilettes toute la journée avec le QR code sur votre ticket de caisse. Car sinon les toilettes sont à 1 € avec le QR code à l’entrée de celles-ci. Petite étoile en moins pour la cafeteria car il y a plusieurs mouches qui volent.
