Mount Teide and Roque Cinchado, from Las Cañadas the caldera of the volcano, Tenerife

            Mount Teide is the third highest and most voluminous volcanic structure in the world, following Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It is the highest peak on the Canary Islands and in the whole of Spain.  Its height  towers to  an altitude of 3,718 metres.( 12,198 ft ) approx 3 times the height of Ben Nevis, 1345m (4,413 ft), Britain's heighest mountain.

The formation began 170,000 years ago following the giant collapse of the former volcanic edifice, which was even bigger than the one that stands today. That is how Las Cañadas caldera was formed. Today we can only see part of the escarpment because as the inside of Teide grew, it gradually filled the caldera with its materials.
