Tenerife is the largest island in the Canary Islands of Spain. It has a long coastline and is called the European holiday backyard. It is very beautiful.
There are very few Asians on the island, and every photo is taken in a blockbuster style! It is much better than many other islands.

Loro Park is an amazing zoo located on the island of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands. Loro Park in Tenerife was opened by businessman Wolfgang Kiessling on December 17, 1972, 3 kilometers from the city of Puerto de la Cruz and 150 meters from the Atlantic Ocean coast. The name of the park means parrot park in Spanish and it was the parrots who were its first inhabitants. Over the years, the number of parrots has grown to the largest collection in the world of 4,000 birds, and besides them, numerous other animals have settled in the park.On the territory of the Loro Park in Tenerife with an area of 13.5 hectares, a penguin garden, a dolphinarium, an aquarium, a 3D cinema and other numerous entertainment included in the entrance fee are open to the public.
Great park for young and old.Beautifully planted and a nice atmosphere for the animals. The shows were great too!Eating and drinking was also worth the price, but we didn't had time because we wanted to see everything.We would recommend it.

Mount Teide is the highest peak on Tenerife, with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. At the top of the mountain, you can see a magnificent sea of clouds. Although the altitude is very high, the vegetation on the top of the mountain is very rich. From the bottom of the mountain to the top, you can experience different temperature changes, and the plants are also very different. It is definitely worth climbing and visiting.
It is definitely a scenic spot that needs to be visited by self-driving, and it is a scenic spot that can be visited for a whole day~
You need to book tickets in advance to go up the mountain, and you must arrive at the scheduled time, so that you can reach the top smoothly~
You can park your car directly at the scenic spot, but if there are many cars, you will have to park farther away and walk up~
The time for each ticket is limited, but basically it is great to take a look at the scenery after a walk, it is a very magnificent scenic spot~

This is the landmark of Tenerife, and Mount Teide is also the highest mountain in Spain. It has the most extensive sample of super-Mediterranean vegetation on the planet, covering one of the most fascinating volcanic landscapes in the world. The largest nature reserve on the entire island, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the category of natural assets in 2007.
The beauty of Teide can only be experienced by going there in person, with its cloud-wrapped ️, diverse volcanic scenery, endemic plants and invertebrates. The fantastic scenery of hundreds of cones, lava tongues and caves has become a favorite location for Hollywood movies.
Teide National Park is an alpine mountain park with a very high altitude. Driving on the winding mountain road, you can see the vast sea of clouds, which is really magnificent. The highest peak here is Teide Peak, which is very steep. The entire national park is very large. It is definitely the best hiking spot in Tenerife and is worth visiting.
