Tenerife, Canary Islands
The largest of the Canary Archipelago, the island of Tenerife consists of many different regions - each with its own characteristics. There are mountains, lush valleys, a gigantic crater (which is now a national park) and, of course, fabulous beaches. If the beautiful landscapes don't bring a smile to your face, the weather certainly will.
Don't Miss
When visiting Tenerife, don't miss its mysterious pyramids. Enjoy a panoramic city tour of Santa Cruz and visit Pyramid Park, an area discovered by the world-famous adventurer Thor Heyerdahl. No one knows where the pyramids came from, but no one who sees them can forget these strange formations.
Fun Things to Do
- Explore the rich landscape of the Orotava Valley, marked by dramatic viewpoints and stunning scenery.
- Visit the charming colonial city of Puerto de la Cruz.
Sporting Adventures
Feel the sea spray in your face on an exciting catamaran ride. This is a great way to see the Archipelago from a new perspective.
Currency
As part of Spain, the Canary Archipelago's official currency is the Euro (EUR), the official currency of the European Union. Many stores and restaurants also accept major credit cards, which usually offer you a good exchange rate. When shopping, remember there is a Value-Added Tax added to most purchases.
