5 of the Most Beautiful Natural Areas in Tenerife

When people picture Tenerife, the sun, sand and sea will likely be what many think of first. What may be surprising, though, is that several of the island’s most unique natural areas are located away from the coastline. Rather than staying close to your resort or hotel, rent a car and take a drive, or for a more environmentally friendly option, utilise the efficient and cheap local bus service to experience the most incredible parts of the island. There is something extra special about reconnecting with nature, especially when it is as amazing as in Tenerife.

Here are five of the most beautiful natural areas Tenerife has to offer, where you’ll experience stunning new sights and make memories to last a lifetime!

1. Enjoy an incredible trekking experience around Teide National Park

Much of the island’s interior is dominated by the giant Mount Teide. The 3,718-metre summit is the highest peak in Spain and the highest point above sea level in the islands of the Atlantic!

Surrounding this impressive volcanic mountain, is the vast and beautiful Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and undoubtedly one of the best places on the island for trekking. The scenery is truly stunning, with a variety of fauna and flora, and incredible volcanic terrain formed out of the lava from previous eruptions.
