Outdoor sights in Tenerife

  1. 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.

  2. Drago Park

    Past Plaza Constitución (aka Plaza Pila), a square with historic Canary homes, is Drago Park, where you can pay to get up close to the famous tree, which has supposedly been here for more than 1000 years. Fax ahead to request a guided tour. The best view, however, is the free one from the west wall of the Plaza de la Inglesia.
