TENERIFE

 

The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife is a volcanic island boasting a landscape of mountains, hills, cliffs, and forest. The bustling capital city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife boasts cutting-edge architecture, and the most golden beach on the island.

A road trip will take you up dramatic winding roads to hilltop hamlets, past soaring volcanic cliffs, and alongside spectacular scenery.

Take the cable car up imposing Mount Teide, Spain’s highest mountain, or hike the trails in the lush forests of Anaga Rural Park. These are must-see attractions for any Tenerife Itinerary.

Renting a car and driving in Tenerife is the perfect way to explore the island independently. Wander the cobbled streets of La Laguna, and La Oratava, beautiful traditional towns packed with history. Or relax and recharge, at your own stunning villa in Costa Adeje.

Go in search of dolphins and whales on an excursion, swim or relax on one of the many beaches, explore history in a museum, or hike one of the many epic trails.
