Volcanic landscape: the soul of Tenerife
Tenerife is a unique island thanks to its volcanic origins, and one of the must-do activities is a visit to the Teide National Park. This natural area is the most visited in the Canary Islands and offers landscapes that look like something from another planet.
Climbing Mount Teide or exploring its viewpoints is a must-do experience for any traveller. Furthermore, the contrast between lava, rock and sky makes this one of the most photographed places in Europe.
Another must-do is a visit to the Anaga Rural Park, where the laurel forests offer spectacular hiking trails. Also worth noting are the Los Gigantes Cliffs, one of the most impressive landscapes in the Atlantic.
Staying in a hotel in Puerto de la Cruz such as the Hotel AF Valle Orotava provides easy access to all these places.
Beaches, sea and natural pools in Tenerife
Tenerife is also a perfect destination for enjoying the sea. The island boasts volcanic sand beaches, such as Playa Jardín in Puerto de la Cruz, ideal for combining relaxation with stunning scenery.
Furthermore, the natural pools at Garachico or Bajamar offer a unique swimming experience in safe and spectacular volcanic settings.
Water activities are also very popular: whale watching, snorkelling or boat trips are highly recommended experiences for those seeking active tourism in Tenerife.
Culture, cuisine and charming towns
Beyond its natural beauty, Tenerife offers a wealth of culture. San Cristóbal de La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-visit for its colonial architecture and historic atmosphere.
Puerto de la Cruz, home to the Hotel AF Valle Orotava, is one of the best places to enjoy Canarian cuisine, local life and the island’s traditional atmosphere.
Here you can sample typical dishes such as papas arrugadas con mojo, fresh fish or local cheeses, as well as enjoying charming restaurants and bars.
If you’re wondering what to do in Tenerife this year, combining nature, culture and relaxation in a well-located hotel is the best option.
