For anyone travelling to Tenerife, a rental car is the best option. On a Tenerife rental car route you can enjoy breathtaking views, for the island’s landscape is full of natural beauties. A day out to the surroundings often leads over partly mountainous roads covering long distances. Thus, all the sights of the largest Canary island can be discovered much better by rental car than just on foor or by bike. Finding a discount car hire at one of the airports in Tenerife is no problem. Also in the island’s localities car rental companies offering cheap rental cars are available. The Teide volcano with its height of 3.718 metres is not only the highest mountain on Tenerife but also the highest of all Spanish mountains. The mountain is surrounded by a natural reserve where you can go for nice hikes. | The Orotava valley is a worthwhile hiking area, especially worth visiting here is the old town of La Orotava. The Barranco del Infierno canyon near Adeje with a small waterfall at the end is also popular with tourists. The steep coast of “Los Gigantes” can be admired especially well from the water during a boat tour. The capital of Tenerife, Santa Cruz in the north east, offers numerous shopping opportunities and restaurants. There is also a bullfight arena, which actually is not used anymore for bullfights but for concerts and events. The city of Puerto de la Cruz in the north with numerous squares and shopping streets is the touristic heart of Tenerife. There, the botanical garden with tropical plants as well as the “Loro Parque”, a park housing plants as well as animals like dolphins and penguins, deserve a visit. |
