Tenerife Sights

  1. Loro Parque

    Loro Parque the self-declared 'must' of the Canaries, is home to 340 species of parrots along with other exotic animals. Unless you object in principle to wild animals in captivity, the park is really quite impressive. Don't miss the dolphin and parrot shows, the aquarium with 15,000 aquatic animals, and the world's largest 'penguinarium'.

  2. Parque Nacional Del Teide

    Covering 18,990 hectares, the Teide is Spain's most popular national park, with a whopping four million visitors a year. The landscape, while not beautiful in a traditional sense, is fascinating, containing more than 80% of the world's volcanic formations. The park protects nearly 1000 Guanche archaeological sites, many of which are still unexplored.

  3. Pico del Teide

    The cable car provides the easiest, most popular and most expensive way to get up to the peak of El Teide. On clear days the volcanic valley spreads out majestically below, and you can see the islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro peeking up from the Atlantic. It takes just eight minutes to zip up 1200m (3937ft).
