Holidays to Tenerife

The mountains divide the island into the north and south: the north is dotted with traditional whitewashed villages and banana plantations, while the south buzzes with the influx of tourism. The volcanic Mount Teide is the highest mountain in Tenerife, and the third largest volcano on the planet, standing 3,781 metres above sea level. Visitors can explore the breathtaking scenery of Teide National Park and take the cable car to the top of the Mount Teide.
