Tenerife

Tenerife essentials

Tenerife’s diverse landscape spans the volcanic peak of Mount Teide, Spain’s highest point, and the ancient laurel forests of the Anaga Mountains. The island features unique geological formations like the vertical Cliffs of the Giants and the Roques de García. Cultural highlights include the colonial architecture of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, the modernist Tenerife Auditorium, and the historic 1,000-year-old dragon tree in Icod de los Vinos. Man-made attractions like the Thai-themed Siam Park and the salt-water pools of Lago Martiánez complement the natural black and golden sand beaches.
