The Island of Tenerife

The Island of Tenerife is often called a paradise island and for good reason! The island experiences sunshine around the year, has an abundance of world class hotels and offers an exceptional choice of cuisine set against the stunning background of Mount Teide.

Tenerife is one of the largest Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The island contains busy resorts like Playa de las Américas that benefit from the hot weather south of the Island. Resorts such as Puerto de la Cruz in the north are more humid and mild offering a comparably relaxed holiday. With an average temperature of 23 degrees the climate is the main reason for visiting Tenerife at any time of the year.

However, Tenerife is more than just long golden beaches. With volcanic areas, abrupt ravines, black-sand coves and nature reserves there is a whole lot more to explore. Some of the highlights include: the spectacular cliffs of Los Gigantes in Santiago del Teide that tower more than 900 metres over the Ocean; the lunar landscape caused by erosion on the volcanic rock in Granadilla de Abona; and the network of ancient tracks over the Anaga mountain range used by trekkers in the Anaga Rural Park.
