Tenerife See & Do

Tenerife is the striking amazing gem in the Canary Island. Pulling in more than 5 million guests per year, the island's most well known southern resorts offer European party and night life, consolidated with sandy shorelines and exotic resorts. Yet, step past the lavish voyagers and what you'll discover is a refined and edified island of uncommon exotic qualities.

This blend of encounters incorporates tropical climate adventuress and architectural shops; dim outlets leading into volcanic magma; a provocative and sultry carnival festivity that is second just to Rio, and a stash of galleries, parks, and quaint old pioneer towns. Be that as it may, this is an island of dramatization, and nothing comes more emotional than the snowcaps of Pico del Teide, Spain's tallest mountain and home to probably the most remarkable trekking in all the nation.

Get to where the fun is at

A considerable lot of the younger crowds hang out on the south of the island with more seasoned and family-oriented travelers picking Puerto de La Cruz and its surroundings. On the south side there is predictable summer weather, practically no wind, and essentially flawless shoreline climate for a great part of the year, however there have been uncommon occurrences of cool to frigid climate in the January to February period. Additionally, expect some extremely wet days for that season of year, however most days will in any case be sunny.

On the north side of the island you will discover more green and dynamic nearby culture. There is a more Spanish laid-back springtime feel. The climate is less predictable here, but on the other hand is for the most part wonderful with slightly lower temperatures.

In the centre of the island sits, Mount Teide or in Spanish Pico del Teide and at 3,718-metre (12,198 ft) it is Spain's tallest mountain

Rental car is the way to go

Tenerife don't miss

  • Take a cable car up to Mount Teide - Tenerife's Volcano and explore the surrounding Teide National Park
  • Santa Cruz is the capital of Tenerife so take some time to visit this city and shipping port.
  • Looking for a Beach in Tenerife start with Playa de Las Teresitas where the white sands have been brought over from the Sahara.
  • Visit the old town of La Orotava and its botanical garden.
  • Choose from one of the many wildlife parks to visit such as the Eagle, Monkey, Camel or Loro Park.
  • The area of Los Gigantes or the Cliffs of the Giants is a beautiful area of high cliffs descending into the sea.
  • Piramides de Guimar are a fine example of step pyramids similar to those in Mexico and Peru just 13 miles from Santa Cruz
