There are many interesting and exciting places to visit on your holidays to Tenerife. Here we have listed places which are well worth a visit.

Mount Teide is an active but dormant volcano within the Teide National Park. With an impressive peak at 3,718m, is it the highest peak in Spain.  The crater 'Las Canadas', rock formations and volcanic ash gives the area a lunar appearance. Masca is a picturesque village that is a photographers dream come true. It is regarded as Tenerife's prettiest village located on a steep hillside within a gorge.

Barranco del Infierno (Hells Ravine) is the deepest gorge in the Canary Islands. The impressive steep sides of the gorge can be reached by a trail from Adeje.

Plenty of boat trips from the harbours of Tenerife take you to see the wales and dolphins often riding the waves. Don't forget your camera, sunscreen and swimming costume.

Loro Parque in Puerto de la Cruz is a fantastic family attraction on your holidays to Tenerife. Not only is it a tropical wildlife park, but it also mixes conservation, education and fun together. It is an excellent day out for the whole family.

Aquapark Octopus is a very popular action packed water park, especially for families with children. The park has dolphin displays, various rides and flumes and a separate section for children called Mini Park.

Siam Park brings the exotic theme of Thailand to its brand new Water Park. It hosts the longest lazy river, the widest range of attractions and the largest man made waves in the world. This park is not to be missed for those who love exciting water rides.

Garachico was Tenerife's busiest port, but was destroyed when the Volcan Negro erupted. Today the old port lies buried underneath the present town and is worth a look.

The Drago Milenario (Dragon Tree) is a tree known locally as the 'Thousand Year Old Dragon Tree'. This giant tree symbolises the Island.

Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion is the oldest church on the island of Tenerife. This church is a Spanish national shrine and has great craftsmanship.
