Parks und Natur auf Teneriffa

Parks & Natural Wonders

Tenerife’s landscape ranges from the volcanic peaks of Mount Teide and Pico Viejo, Spain’s highest points, to the lush subtropical greenery of the Anaga and Adeje regions. This selection includes the ancient Drago Milenario tree and specialized botanical collections like the Palmetum’s palm forest. Urban green spaces such as Parque García Sanabria showcase local sculpture and flora, while the Barranco del Infierno offers a protected hiking route leading to one of the island's few permanent waterfalls.
