It provides a stunning backdrop across the island, but up close, the mountain and its surrounding national park are perfect for exploring. Scheduled buses leave Las Americas to take you to the base, where you can jump on a cable car that takes you high above the clouds to gaze across the beautiful turquoise sea and the rest of Tenerife.
The famous Siam Park
Of course, a highlight to Tenerife is the famous Siam Park. Home to around 40 different rides, flumes and shoots it’s a seriously fun day out for all. Whether you’re super daring and want to hit the Tower of Power, or just want to leisurely bob around the Lazy River, definitely put it on your to do list.
