No. 3 of Best Things to Do in Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Tenerife

5.5
Tenerife is located in the Canary Islands, and is the archipelago's largest island by area and population. The capital,Santa Cruz, sits on the northeast coast. The island rises in terraces from the shore toward the center and, from a distance, looks like a pyramid pulled up from the Atlantic; its summit is the Teide volcano, which rises to more than 3,700 m above sea level. It is higher than any peak on the Iberian Peninsula and, if measured from the seabed, reaches over 7,000 m. Surrounding the volcano, Parque Nacional del Teide is blanketed in black lava and colorful volcanic tephra, its landscape resembling the moon and Mars, and the unique geological landscape has attracted space agencies to carry out related research here; the summit is snowcapped in winter, and on clear nights it is an excellent place for stargazing, while the beaches at the mountain's base remain warm, so one island contains multiple climate zones. The island's north and south faces are sharply contrasted: the north shore is windward, rainy, and lush year-round, and the Anaga mountains in the northeast hide ancient laurel forests shrouded in mist, which attract hikers; the south shore is leeward, dry, and sunny, and most resort beaches are concentrated there. Off the southern coast, pilot whales and common bottlenose dolphins reside year-round, and boat trips often encounter them; on the west coast, giant cliffs rise hundreds of meters from the sea, and the old village of Masca deep in the Teno mountains is tucked at the end of a steep valley, making it a classic stop for a self-drive island tour. The Santa Cruz carnival in late winter to early spring, known for its elaborate parades and street bands, is one of the island's signature cultural events.Orotava Valley · 15.1km from La Orotava

Mount Teide

4.7
Teide is located in Tenerife and is a famous icon of the Canary Islands. As the peak of Spain and the Atlantic islands, Teide is also the largest volcano in the world, and it is an active volcano, which is very attractive. There is a bus at the foot of the mountain to take tourists to the mountainside, and then you can choose to take the cable car or walk up. Along the way, watching the sea of clouds and barren mountains has a unique flavor. When you reach the top of the mountain at an altitude of 3,713 meters, the mountains are stacked together and the temperature is a little cold, and you will feel that your soul has been purified. If the weather is good, the top of the mountain is also very suitable for watching the stars, which can be described as romantic. It is worth mentioning that the movie "10,000 Years Before History" was shot here, so you can also enter the imaginary space and feel like you are on other planets.Orotava Valley · 17.6km from La Orotava

Mount Teide is the highest peak on Tenerife, with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. At the top of the mountain, you can see a magnificent sea of ​​clouds. Although the altitude is very high, the vegetation on the top of the mountain is very rich. From the bottom of the mountain to the top, you can experience different temperature changes, and the plants are also very different. It is definitely worth climbing and visiting.

This is the landmark of Tenerife, and Mount Teide is also the highest mountain in Spain. It has the most extensive sample of super-Mediterranean vegetation on the planet, covering one of the most fascinating volcanic landscapes in the world. The largest nature reserve on the entire island, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the category of natural assets in 2007. The beauty of Teide can only be experienced by going there in person, with its cloud-wrapped ️, diverse volcanic scenery, endemic plants and invertebrates. The fantastic scenery of hundreds of cones, lava tongues and caves has become a favorite location for Hollywood movies.
