Tenerife is known as "The Island of Contrasts". The island offers an infinite variety of attractions to its visitors. The north of the island boasts lush green vegetation with a wide range of exotic plants, cacti and flowers, and breathtaking views from the mountainous landscape.

The national park of Las Cañadas, where Mount Teide is situated, boasts spectacular volcanic formations, creating a lunar type landscape (and was the setting to the famous film 2000 B.C. starring Raquel Welch). The south side of the island offers drier sun-drenched landscapes and is where you will find the island's only white sand beaches.
The island offers both "old" and "new" architecture and culture, villages and traditions that remain unchanged co-exist peacefully with the bustling tourist resorts and the wonderful business and commerce capital city of the island, Santa Cruz

The improvement of the infrastructure that the island has seen in the last 15 years, facilitates greatly the tourist´s ability to travel and discover the entire island by car or public transport. It is these developments and contrasts that make Tenerife truly special and one of the most popular holiday destinations worldwide. The island's all year round temperature averages 22ºC.
