The best thing about Tenerife's unique landscape is that it has everything from sandy beaches, mountains, volcanic rock formations and forests offering a great outdoor adventure for the nature lovers. The island features two main mountain areas and two national parks.
The Teide National Park in Tenerife is the biggest natural attraction on the island. The park covers an area of 18,990 ha and boasts the highest peak in Spain, the Teide-Pico Viejo strato-volcano. Standing 3,718m above sea level and 7,500m above the ocean floor, it is considered the third tallest volcanic structure in the worlds. What's most spectacular is its environment which represents a rich and diverse collection of volcanic features and landscapes. The park itself lies about 2000m above sea level and is known as the most visited National Park in Spain and it entertains 3.5 million visitors annually. Winters are cold with snow fall and gale winds whereas during summer temperature reach well above 40 degrees Celsius making the area arid and landscape closely resembling a scene out of a cow boy movie. The Park can be easily accessed by bus or private vehicle and the volcano can be access either by foot or by cable car. The peak offers breathtaking views of Gran canaria, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro - certainly is the height of Tenerife.

Hotels in Tenerife include luxury accommodation, budget hotels, self catered apartments and even cottages. For the extreme outdoor type and the best ever encounter with nature, many areas in the island feature camping sites. Enjoy nature and adventure Tenerife style.
Los Gigantes offer adventure as well as relaxation. Located on the west coast of Tenerife, in the Santiago del Teide municipality, the town's main features are giant rock formations which rise 500 - 800 metres above sea level. Known as the Acantilados de los Gigantes, these giant cliffs feature astonishingly sheer rock walls practically plunging into the ocean below. For the best views of the cliffs and to experience their true magnitude try a boat ride from the nearby marina. Across the bay you can find the resort town and port of Los Gigantes - major tourist attraction in the island. It features a small black sand beach, a small town and a heap of hotels and apartments.
The northeastern part of Tenerife is dominated by Macizo de Anaga. This mountain range extends from the northeastern Punta de Anaga to the southwestern Cuz del Carmen. The range features mountain points of Bichuelo, Anambro, Pico Limante, Cruz de Taborno, Chinobre, and Cruz del Carmen. The cliffs are treacherous and therefore not easy to access by vehicle. The only road runs through San Andres and the northwestern part of the mountain range. The altitude of the mountains and its location on the island has helped in the existence of a rare diversity of natural habitats. The natural park was founded in 1987 and is known as Parque Rural de Anaga.
