Tenerife Holiday Homes & Holiday Villas, Apartments to let
The absolute "must see" on Tenerife Island is without a doubt
El Teide and the Cañadas.
Over 3800 meter high it is not only the tallest mountain of Spain but also
one of the largest volcano craters on earth.
To prevent crowds gathering at the summit and to preserve this natural
scene in all its beauty, the administration of national parks in the Canary
Islands has made it a requirement to apply for a permit to access the summit
itself which lies some 100 meters above the "Teleferico" cable car upper
station.
The permit itself is free of charge and should be applied for 7 days in
advance of actually visiting the summit.
The application can be sent by fax and the permit will be granted and sent
the same way. It is therefore advisable to supply a spanish fax number
for the office to return the permit to. If they will fax to foreign country
numbers is not sure.
The application must be as shown below and must be sent with LEGIBLE copies
of the passports of all persons included in the application.
Send applications by fax to: +34 922 244788.
