10 Nature & Parks in Tenerife That You Shouldn't Miss
Tribal Terenife still shows influence from the aboriginal Gaunches people. Visitors clamber to conquer Mount Teide (Spain’s tallest peak) and to stretch out on the sands of Los Gigantes. Squawk hello to the playful parrots of Loro Park, or brave the petrifying drive to beautiful Masca Valley. For a true taste of Terenife, sample fresh farmhouse cheese and local bananas. A piece of delicate calado canario lace makes a special souvenir.

The longest lavatunnel i all of Europe, with more than 18 km now explored. A vulcanic tunnel that now has caused scientific interest, because of the cocroach born without eyes. An absoultely amazing experience to get a guided tour into this underground vulcanic world. Highly recommended for those who want to experience something different in this beautiful island.

You have to prebook your place on this trip prior to going, they only allow 16 people a time into the cave. The tour was fantastic and very well organised, our tour guide was very knowledgable, we had two young children in our group and he made it fun and interesting for them as well the adults. There is a short 20 minute walk to the cave through beautiful woodland, not too strenuous. I would highly recommend.

I took the bus from La Laguna to the visitor centre, they were very helpful there, suggesting a walk that fitted my requirements and providing a map. I walked the 5 km on my own and it was wonderful, so peaceful with just the bird song for company. Beautiful views near the visitor centre, not very obvious where to go to see but if you cross the road (from the centre) and walk to the left of the restaurant, behind it there are steps, or a ramp, which lead you up to an amazing view. Also there is a cafe near the centre which was very good.

We went on a transfer from Playa de las Americas, which doesn't take as long as they say! Fantastic park with so much to see! Highly recommend the tour that they offer you when you go in as you get to see everything behind the scenes as well such as the vets, penguins and go underneath the orca whale tank to see them! They tell you everything about the place as well and will help you to find out which order to do the shows in! Whale and dolphin shows are a must!! Food is above average but fine for snacks and drinks!

I am a nature lover and for me this garden was the prettiest part of Orotava. I went there twice with books, music and lunch and spend hours relaxing and reading. Very well landscaping and beautiful flowers.

This beach is by Costa del Silencio, next to Montaña Amarilla point, on the coast of the nature area of the same name. It is a stony beach used by nudists. Access is from Ten-Bel or the neighbouring complexes, after the Marino and Amarilla Bay apartments.

Hubby and I had our best day out whilst staying in Costa de Silencio here. The rock formations are wonderful to look at, there are rock pools, the sea is refreshing and the chiringuito cafe is wonderful - coffee and mojitos ???? We climbed mount amarilla to eat our picnic at the top. Fab day out. ????

Beautiful village set in a spectacular gorge. Amazing drive- yes it is a bit hairy but roads are good- through the mountains with good viewing spots on the way. The gorge walk is closed at present but just to walk around Masca village was enough for us! Its very hilly but so relaxing and quiet. Excellent place to visit.

Wow.. just an amazing place to visit, if you are going on you’re own please keep in mind that you need a permit to climb to the pick, only 20 persons allow per windows, to get this special permit from the Adminstracion de Parques Nacionales plan in advance, at least 2 months.. if you stay at the pick sanctuary at the base you can climb by yourself but need to be down by 9:00 am.. recommended to get a turoperador.. it’s easy and safe way to go.. will be back..

We hired a car and spent the day in Tiede National Park , it's an amazing volcanic landscape with massive rock formations and lava fields and some fantastic views, we stayed until the sun went down .
