6 things to do in Tenerife

Legions of travelers from northern Europe saturate the airports of the island of Tenerife every year for one reason be precise: Tenerife is beautiful and fun! Let's discover 6 things to do in Tenerife:
 

1- Paragliding from the port of Izaña

There are several companies that are dedicated to exploit it commercially, doing training courses and tandem jumps. It is very simple, the instructor binds to the back, you run a few meters and, when you feel the traction produced by the swelling of the wing, you notice that the legs walk in the air. Jumping from Izaña you fly for half an hour over the beautiful valley of Güímar. On the left is the largest peak in Spain, the Teide. The crater of the volcano Cho Marcial is located to your right, while in front of it are the waters of the Atlantic. Under your feet, the pines give way to potato, banana and mango plantations first, and then to low houses.

3- Discovering the underwater life by diving

4- Cycling through the streets of La Laguna

The city of La Laguna in Tenerife has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is considered a unique example of an unwalled colonial city. It was founded in the 15th century by Adelantado Alonso Fernández de Lugo, who used it as an experiment to design the model city that would be exported to the South American colonies. There are several companies that rent bicycles, so pedal at your own pace and stop and enjoy the beauty of buildings like Casa Salazar, the Old Convent of Santo Domingo, Casa de La Alhondiga, or Plaza del Adelantado. 
 

5- Kayak to the wall of Los Gigantes

The rock face of Los Gigantes emerges authoritarian from the waters of the Atlantic. Its facade seems impregnable and some visible cracks suggest the existence of ravines such as La Masca, whose depths can be reached on foot, but the most fun way to approach Los Gigantes is to row from the nearby port of the same name. There are companies that organize kayak excursions, including the possibility of going to La Masca. It is said that the last guanches hid from the conquerors in its caves and cracks.
 

6- Surfing the waves of the Atlantic

There are several beaches that allow you to practice one of the funniest things to do in Tenerife: surfing. If you have never tried this Hawaiian invention you will find many schools that will help you in your first steps. It is a great idea to keep fit during the vacations, because surfing requires a lot of physical effort and the first few days you will have pains even in the muscles that you did not know you had. Moreover, it is a sport in which it is never too late to learn.
